The sun on the rim of the view overlooking
All that I love, lights up every leaf and blade,
Birds circling high above
With trembling hand I reach down and say "This is my land"
This land will pass on to my child, when he's grown
To love it as much as I,
For all the sons gone by
And when he's a man, he'll do what he can for this is my land
This is my land
When young men die in glory and for freedom take their stand
May they sing this same proud story, this is my land
Life fade away, and my body is laid
To rest on the ground may this comfort fill my soul
More on the land, I know
That those after me say with much dignity "This is my land,
This is my land"
