Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is your land, it's the way it was planned
Sky to the sea, somethin' to see
Old ancient town, to the old people ground
I wanna know, somethin' to go
[Verse 2]
This is your land, laid out in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land
[Verse 3]
Oh, churches and steeples, big city people
I wanna know, somethin' to hold
Walk down the track to the old railroad track
I wanna leave somethin' to see
[Verse 4]
This is your land, laid out in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land
[Verse 5]
Money can't buy me
Money can't buy me
I've got time
Time is on my side
[Verse 6]
You don't know what you've got till the whole thing's gone
The days are dark and the road is long
And when you walk away, the hope is gone
Tell me what is right and what is wrong?
[Verse 7]
Is this the way it was planned?
[Verse 8]
This is your land, take it in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
[Verse 9]
This is your land, take it in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
This is your land
