Oh how I love you-This land of you belong to me! And I belong to thee! Each river and brook, each meadow and tree-Gifts of my blood and my birth! No titles or deeds!
I am with you and of you a feeling as old as time! I am with you and of you-My heart is thine! I am with you and of you-My birthplace, my home! One day this ground shall hold my bones!
I am never so still as when I stand on your shore or high in the hills for I love you now as I did before! For your song is drumming in my Heart and my views! For I am with you and of you with each breath that I take!
I am with you and of you a feeling as old as time! I am with you and of you-My heart is thine! I am with you and of you-My birthplace, my home! One day this ground shall hold my bones!
Your soil holds my forefathers and your soil will hold I! By your summer’s I’m kissed! I share a chill wind under winter skies! My folk are bound to you be they dead, yet to be or alive! I see you in the eyes of a lover or in a wee baby’s smile! To this land I am wedded and yet more jealous still these words aren’t enough! For the love that I feel-For you are my birthright-To precious to share a home for my kinsfolk, yet more precious and fair!
I am with you and of you a feeling as old as time! I am with you and of you-My heart is thine! I am with you and of you-My birthplace, my home! One day this ground shall hold my bones!
