My Own Native Land

In this troubled world today We're asked to lend a hand Which I will, but first with me Comes my own native land Gladly will I help this world And give all that I can It isn't selfishness but first Comes my own native land Is it right that we should give And give until it hurts To a foreign land that treats us Just like so much dirt Those who lead us have forgotten Love is in the soul Love cannot be purchased with The promise of more gold
