There's a quiet out there
In this open air
That reminds me of what I'm breathin' for
I open a window
And I stop for a moment
To hold up, to look out and take in
The land I adore
Left to her own
No one tearin' her down and out
She offers a home sooo dear
So mighty, so grand
This land is worth my struggles
It warms my heart in this bitter cold
This land is filled with pride
With the folks who have died
To give me some comfort as I grow old
There is no place I've been
There is no where I'm gonna go
I've got my freedom out here
That's what I hold dear
Yes, this land is my home
Home to the ways that we tear at each other
At home to be lost as we wander afar
To come back ‘round the bend, home again
When we’re finally sure of who... what we are
We know how to hold steady
We’ll know how to make a sound
We are willing, We are ready
To try to get some sense goin' on around me
On this hallowed ground
This land is worth my struggles
It warms my heart in this bitter cold
This land is filled with pride
With the folks who have died
To give me some comfort as I grow old
There is no place I've been
There is no where that I'm gonna go
I've got my freedom out here
That's what I hold dear
Yes, this land is my home
