I love my country, for it is where I live
I've been asking lately, what can I give to it
My country's been hurting my feelings
I've been living with a lot of fear
I don't know how to share the road
With citizens that hate the world
Citizens that hate the world
Some of my family voted for him
Though he wanna see me dead
I can love them all the same
For in me they see their shame
When he speaks they dip their head
From his word they advert their eye
When they turn they must meet mine
Everybody hurt by the district line
But I ain't ever gonna change your mind
(Tell me where it is that you wanna be)
Deep in the heart of the country I come from
(Tell me what it is that you wanna do)
I wanna set a little fire and feel a little freedom
(Tell me how it is that it's gonna go)
From the flicker of the flame and billow of the smoke
(Tell me where it was that the blood was shed)
Deep from the heart of the country I love
I will not be moved from here
You will not be removed either
The water runs clear and the hills do glitter
The word was sweet but my belly turned bitter
I love my country for you are here
I don't wanna see you up and disappear
They it may go up in flames
The hills are always gonna remember your name
Though country may fail, land will remain
