Let Our Land Be The One

(Stephen Duffy)

 

 

Are there trees in your street?

Is there grass beneath your feet?

Let our land be the one

Does the tap at your sink

Give you water fit to drink?

Let our land be the one

 

Do our arms welcome our friends?

Are our passports valid?

The dreams we had, Jerusalem

Awake now empty handed

And with the wealth to guarantee

A healthy life for all

Why not prove we have the grace

To catch the ones who fall

 

Oh woh hey hey

Let our land be the one

 

Do we offer peace of mind?

Are we helpful to our blind?

Let our land be the one

Where kids are safe out in the park

And she can walk out after dark

Let our land be the one

 

The city street the market square

Should offer little danger

To friend or foe with silver spoon

Or traveller and stranger

Should every drop of water yet

Be forced to make a profit

While the others still poison the earth

Let us be the first to stop it

 

Oh woh hey hey

Let our land be the one

Oh woh hey hey

Let our land be the one
