I feel a peace as I walk the leafy lanes Look out over them hills, boy it looks like rain See the distant mountains, with the storm clouds high above This is my land, my country, the place I love
(chorus) We ain't gonna like it if they take our land away Looks like history repeating itself again We ain't gonna like it if they take our land away If they steal our heritage, somebody's gonna pay
My father worked this land as his father did before And they'd turn in their graves, if they knew what was in store Someone came from some big city, and tried to buy our farm Threw our life's work out to rot, they've done a lot of harm
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
The pride in our community, the media'd love to kill They hate to see our unity, intact against their will Tried to take our livelihood, tried to take our guns If we left 'em take our pride, then surely they have won
(chorus) x2

STAND BY YOUR OWN
The storm clouds are gathering, the Liberals are bleating The vultures are looking down on the land of South Africa The traitors are crowing, 'cos they see the Whites falling They lie in their papers, about apartheid's evil way
(chorus) Stand by your own, that's the best way Stand by your own, from the ruins it came Stand by your own, the only sane cry Stand by your own, Red Terror will die
False prophets are moaning, and the bankers are groaning As the leaders of the weak White west prepare to sell-out the white man again We sit here in Europe, and wonder what the future holds The murdering ANC, walk free around our countries
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus)
As we look to the future, and hope that our kin survive All we can do now, is pray for them all
(chorus)
Stand by your own, Red Terror will die Stand by your own, Red Terror will die
