My Land, My Beloved

My land, my beloved, I bleed with thee.
As long as you have life in your heart,
I shall not cease watering your roots with a hopeful futurity.

I left. Sailed across the Atlantic in search of tranquility.
But no matter the seas between us, we do not part.
My land, my beloved, I bleed with thee.

Sleepless nights visit you and me.
An itch inhabits my every thought.
I shall not cease watering your roots with a hopeful futurity.

You are for many the only sanctuary
They may call upon in times of onslaught.
My land, my beloved, I bleed with thee.


Oh drop after drop, sea after sea,
When will the gates of peace unshut?
I shall not cease watering your roots with a hopeful futurity.

Where is the savior and glory?
A tomorrow with no arrow, woe or battles fought.
My land, my beloved, I bleed with thee.
I shall not cease watering your roots with a hopeful futurity.
