My Country

Gently, with motion

1. “This is my country!” I sing it with pride:

Whether it’s desert, sand-duned and wide,

Mountains, pine covered land iceberg bound,

It’s where my home and loved ones are found.

2. This is my country; and all that I do

Should build it stronger, finer, more true;

I love my country. Long may it be

A land where my people are honest and free.
