Leave Me Praying (don`t Drink The Water) 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
