Graeme Connors - Child Of This Land lyrics

I was born here My memories are strong and clear The second son of an Irish Catholic family From the old part of town I have pride of place Etched in the lines on my face I may move at a different pace But I get around And I know sunshine I know clear blue skies I know wide-open spaces And beaches of golden sand I know forest trees I know deep blue seas And I know these belong to me ‘Cause I'm a child of this land Like all children I set sail in a strong wind Never one to be all that big on winning Still I make it by the seat of my pants Now I've got kids to raise To see through these interesting days But I'd rather laze in the shade Given half the chance ‘Cause I know sunshine I know clear blue skies I know wide-open spaces And beaches of golden sand I know forest trees I know deep blue seas And I know these belong to me ‘Cause I'm a child of this land
