Be My Country

Oh, brother, please
Won't you carry me
Across these broken plains?
To our new day
Although I'm barely 17
I'm so strung out to get clean
The only language I understand
Is the rhythm of my shaking hands

Won't you please
Be my country?
Won't you be my friend?
Show me some answers
Take me in

Oh, sister, please
Won't you marry me?
You're like someone I used to know
A long, long time ago
Although I'm barely 17
I'm so strung out to get clean
The only language I can understand
Is the rhythm of my shaking hands

Oh, please
Be my country
Be my friend
Show me the answers
Won't you take me in

And though I'm only 17
I'm so strung out to get clean
The only language I understand
Is the rhythm of my shaking hands

Oh, please be my country
Oh, please be my friend
Give me some answers
Won't you take me in?

Be my country
Be my friend
Show me the answers
Please take me in

Won't you be my country?
Oh, be my friend
Show me the answers
Won't you take me in
Be my country
