Homeland

I vow to you my country
All earthly things above
Entire and whole and perfect

The sevice of my love

The love that asks no question
The stand the test
That lays upon the altar
The dearest and the best

The love that never falters
The love that pays the price
The love that makes undaunted
The final sacrifice

Though the road has bends and turns
And my spirit suffers
Humans fail
Systems fail
Shadows fall

But the ruts run deap
Cut by the blood of faces above
And voices now silent

But the mesage loud is heard
"Homeland, Homeland
Renew your youth
Restore your soul!"

Homeland
The country that I love
Hold out your arms to me

I Strive for you
And give you the best I hope to be

May your wisdom be your armour
Your compassion be your sword
May your strength be forged with mercy
And your courage lives restore

Homeland
The country that I love
Forever reign supreme
And when time stands still
My homeland
May heaven hold your dream

My homeland
Be my dream
My hope

Homeland
Homeland

Ah
