Heart of My Country |
| And I knew that it was coming from me too |
| Now everywhere I go |
| I hear some kind of music |
| I don’t know where it’s coming from, do you? |
| And I used to sit by the dim radio window |
| Waiting for the magic hour to start |
| You can take the heart out of my country |
| You can’t take the country out of my heart |
| Well there comes a time when we all have to travel |
| Some to look for home and some to hide |
| There was a war at home |
| And a war across the ocean |
| Families were split from the inside |
| And we stood there holding hands, signs and candles |
| But soon enough our hands all had to part |
| You can take the heart out of this country |
| But you can’t take the country out of your heart |
| Well, it’s more than cities, fields and mountains |
| More than a place to view the farmer man (??) |
| And everyday I want to thank all the angels |
| That it’s more than its congress and its president |
| And I long to hear the music of its choir |
| When everyone shall stand and sing their part |
| And we can keep the heart in our country |
| And we can keep the country in our heart |
| And we can keep the country in our heart |
