It can't be said much better than this:
West, on a plane bound west I see her stretching; out below
Land, Blessed Mother Land The place where I was born
Scars, yeah she's got her scars
An' Sometimes it starts to worry me, Cause lose, I dont wanna lose Sight of who we are
From the mountains high To the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find better days I know
It's been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
But this is still the place
That we all call home
Free, nothing feels like free
Though it sometimes means we don't get along
Cause same, no we're not the same But that's what makes us strong
From the mountains high
To the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find better days I know
It's been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go But this is still the place
That we all call home
Brave, gotta call it brave to chase that dream across the sea.
Names, then they signed their names For something they believed
Red,how the blood ran red
We laid our dead in sacred ground Just think, wonder what they'd think If they could see us now
It's been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
This is still the place That we all call home
It's been a long hard ride
And I won't lose hope
This is still the place That we all call home.
