This Land

This land once told me that even I could dream Brave and the bold in the land of the free This land once told me that even I could dream But why won't it weep for me? This trail is littered with treasures and woe Fountain still flowing with pleasures and more Some get more treasures most get more woe Now why won't she weep for me? I'm stepping toward the line tonight What have I got to lose? Watch me glow as I am stepping out Over the line for you Trenches between us a stream of mothers' tears While, blinded, they see me the face behind their fear All that once joined us has quickly disappeared and now Why won't they weep for me? I'm stepping up to the line tonight What have I got to lose? Watch me glow as I am stepping out Over the line for you Fuel line is frozen no shoes on my feet No help from the outside, not much to eat My twenty at the outset have dwindled down to three and now Who's gonna weep for me? I'm stepping 'cross the line tonight What have I got to lose? Watch me glow as I am stepping out Over the line for you
