Weight Of The Worldleave Me Praying Lyrics

Oh in excitement 



home that we call this



we charge with an eye on the line



and we go over



oh proud and strong



we come down on babies and mothers



and leave them to die



while we plant all over



and call it home







So weep at life



and leave me pray there



but still I should call it home



native soil



has anyone stolen land



and I love it like no other







And now my grandfather say



open your charge



you charge when the trumpet calls



blow on your flute 



pound on your drum



victory calls



oh no mother or child could



resist any strong beat



drive on west



we will plant we will grow







Wait and see my heart is bleeding



but still I should call it home



and teach my babies



my sons and my daughters



to love this place



and share it with no one







Then we started we ???? bounty



I will plant my wheat



I will hold my land here



I will protect my ones



I will protect my golden



I will stand up on top



and scream that I own land







But what if the spirit lies in this way



still should I call it home



and then I will tell



my sons and my daughters



to hold it so dear



and share it with all



then I will tell



my sons and my daughters 



to hold it so dear 



and share it with everyone







This land is your land 



this land is my land



from California to the New York islands



from the red wood forests



to the gulf stream waters



this land was made for you and me
