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 and the road is long
And when you walk away, the hope is gone Tell me what is right, and what is wrong
Is this the way it was planned 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, take it in your hand This is your land Wherever I go, way down here I know This is your land
