Lyrics for My Own Native Land by Marty Robbins:
| | | Artist: | Marty Robbins |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | My Own Native Land | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 83 | | | | Lyrics: | In this troubled world today
We're asked to lend a hand
Which I will, but first with
me
Comes my own native land
Gladly will I help this world
And give all that I
can
It isn't selfishness but first
Comes my own native land
Is it right that we
should give
And give until it hurts
To a foreign land that treats us
Just like so
much dirt
Those who lead us have forgotten
Love is in the soul
Love cannot be
purchased with
The promise of more gold
Giving brings a lot of joy
And this I
do believe
But aren't the ones who give so much
Entitled to recieve
Why do we keep on
giving
Is it right that we should please
The very ones who'd like to see
Our country
on her knees
If we must give then we should use
A different policy
And give to
only those who treat us
Fair and honestly
We give to those who quickly take it
Posing
as a friend
Then just as quickly turn and bite
The hand that's feeding
them
I'll be accused but I don't feel
I'm acting selfishly
'Cause I believe the
country that
Remains strong will stay free
To give is great but are we giving
More
than we can stand
I question this, cause first with me
Comes my own native land
I
question this, cause first with me
Comes my own native land | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
