| This land is mine, God gave this land to me
|
| This brave and ancient land to me
|
| And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plain
|
| Then I see a land where children can run free
|
| So take my hand and walk this land with me
|
| And walk this lovely land with me
|
| Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
|
| With the help of God, I know I can be strong
|
| Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
|
| With the help of God, I know I can be strong
|
| To make this land our home
|
| If I must fight, I’ll fight to make this land our own
|
| Until I die, this land is mine
