Roy Orbison - This Is My Land lyrics

Bill dees 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 pa** 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, 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"
