One Last Look

They're going to flood the valley so it must be vacated The whole population is being re-located I don't know the place I'm going but there's one thing I know I can only be a stranger wherever I may go It was here we built our homes where we raised our sons and daughters Now with the graves of parents they will lie beneath the waters It's not just where I live it's the only place I've known The only place I'll ever call home Give me one last look while my home is still here Before they flood the valley and my village disappears Give me one last look while my village still remains I know I'll never see my home again The government's decided for the good of the nation They'll wash away the home town of countless generations The family farm was handed down from father to son That line ends here, I'm the last one Give me one last look while my home is still here Before they flood the valley and my village disappears Give me one last look while my village still remains I know I'll never see my home again
