The Promised Land

No matter the country you were born in

We're all inhabitants of earth

Maybe ashamed to admit it sometimes

Our much treasured place of birth

Since time began, we've battled each other

For what... I haven't a clue

Just look around at the beauty you see

An astounding vista we view

Is there something this old guy is missing

Am I alone in my love of living

Am I a lonely voice in the wilderness

This land is so forgiving

We abuse it and misuse it every damn day

This God given paradise we share

Disgusting behaviour is being exhibited

Destroying our planet without care

Certainly not fair for us peace loving souls

Our cries for love go unheeded

But surely we shouldn't give up the fight

Some common decency is needed

Maybe before my day is finally done

Paradise will finally be at hand

When all good people of our dear planet earth

Will as one, each treasure this land
