Lyrics Strong (All Through This Land) - Big Country

Strong (All Through This Land)

I see a land
Stood at the crossroads
Burnt by the fire
Scarred by the flames
Blood on my hands
Smoke in my lungs
Blisters on my fingers
Nil by mouth
It takes all that you are
All that you can be
It takes all that you can give
Still gives back what’s been given
All through this land (all through this land)
Walk on and be strong
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Call it a flood-land
Call it a home
Call it what you want
You’ll never be alone
In times of trouble
And through it all
In this land of my fathers
Where my children walk
All through this land I see
The crossings of the river
The water gives us life
And takes back what’s been given
All through this land (all through this land)
Walk on and be strong
Through all this time I’ve walked the line
A wave against the rising tide
A wind against a hurricane
The river flows, the sea remains
All through this land (all through this land)
Walk on and be strong (all through this land)
Walk on and be strong (oh oh, oh oh)
Oh oh (oh oh, oh oh)
The river flows (oh, oh)
The sea remains (oh, oh)
All through this land (oh, oh)
Walk on ahead (oh, oh)
It takes all that you are (oh, oh)
All that you can be (oh, oh)
The river flows (oh, oh)
The sea remains (oh, oh)
