My Land


[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]

My own land has closed ots gates on me
All alone in world, it's scaring me

I am here to prove you wrong
I'm accused of something I live for

In my dreamland, there's some who understands
A friendly soul, trusting life in my hands

Yes, I gave it all I can
Now it's invaded by a stranger

[Chorus:]
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own

[Guitar solo]

My old land is but a pile of sand
Cold and bare but something still is there

I am here to claim my land
You can't keep me away forever

[Chorus]

(Hey! Hey! ...)

I'm a true patriot, you are my land,
you have my soul, you have all I had
Now I am here, and I want it all back

In my dreams, I climb the hills I see
and let a gentle breeze lead me to
plains I once have seen and
Clear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find
I build a house right there
that you can't take away

I am here to claim my land
you can't keep me away, forever, ever

[Chorus]

Are you man enough, carrying the load all alone
When others have your own?
