 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
