This land is mine, God gave this land to me

This brave and ancient land to me

And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plain

Then I see a land where children can run free

So take my hand and walk this land with me

And walk this lovely land with me

Though I am just a man, when you are by my side

With the help of God, I know I can be strong

Though I am just a man, when you are by my side

With the help of God, I know I can be strong

To make this land our home

If I must fight, I'll fight to make this land our own

Until I die, this land is mine
