You watched the towers rise around you
While you were sinking in the sand
The curtain calls to a penny in a jar
You knew you never stood a chance
How time serves a beating hand
Where gold's the measure of a man
The lost shall understand
For this is God's country
Though ships have sailed and dreams they drift afar
We're carried by the light within our hearts
In God's country
You breathed imagination
Saddled a winged horse in the stars
Bounding through the constellation
Unto a tomb of hardened scars
You run, you hide, you fall
The flesh is frayed, backed against a wall
Now rise and hear the call
For this is God's Country
Though ships have sailed and dreams they drift afar
We're guided by the light within our hearts
In God's Country
The kingdom, the power, the glory
Our gift for you
The freedom beyond the fury
A life for you
In God's country
Though ships have sailed and dreams they drift afar
We're guided by the light within our hearts
In God's country
When the old stones fall and the ground you
I'll be there
When the dark crows rise and surround you
I"ll be there
When the cold eyes of night have found you
I'll be there
