This Is Your Land Lyrics


This is your land, it's the way it was planned
Sky to the sea, something to see
Old ancient town, to the old people ground
I wanna know, something to go
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
Oh, churches and steeples, big city people
I wanna know something to hold
Walk down the track to the old railroad track
I wanna leave something to see
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
Money can't buy me, money can't buy me
I've got time, time is on my side

You don't know what you've got till the whole thing's gone
The days are dark, the road is long
And when you walk away, the hope is gone
Tell me what is right, what is wrong
Is this the way it was planned
And this is your land, take it in your hand
This is your land
Wherever I go, way down here I know
And 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
