EXODUS |
[Lyrics] This land is mine; G-d gave this land to me This brave and ancient land to me And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plain Then I see a land where children can run free So take my hand and walk this land with me And walk this lovely land with me Though I am just a man, when you are by my side With the help of G-d, I know I can be strong Though I am just a man, when you are by my side With the help of G-d, I know I can be strong To make this land our home If I must fight, I'll fight to make this land our own Until I die, this land is mine. |
