This is My Country
This is my country
And I am so grateful
To have lived in a time when I am safe and free
I am safe to dream
And I am free to try
To change my world with hope and speak as I believe
And I am lucky I know to rest my feet on this soil
And take as owed to me
My rights and my liberty
Through proud and shameful history
This is what we have come to be
We have grown into this nation free of kings
Peace and great prosperity
Famine, war and travesity
Have forged the tools that we might shape our destiny
How many people had to die
So that I could live this life
If they knew how I would would they even try
How many people sold their souls
So I could spend this pot of gold
Would they pay the price if they knew what I would buy
