《Native Land》歌词

[00:03:10] Native Land - I-Roy

[00:03:10] In this troubled world today

[00:03:10] We're asked to lend a hand

[00:03:10] Which I will, but first with me

[00:03:10] Comes my own native land

[00:03:10] Gladly will I help this world

[00:03:10] And give all that I can

[00:03:10] It isn't selfishness but first

[00:03:10] Comes my own native land

[00:03:10] Is it right that we should give

[00:03:10] And give until it hurts

[00:03:10] To a foreign land that treats us

[00:03:10] Just like so much dirt

[00:03:10] Those who lead us have forgotten

[00:03:10] Love is in the soul

[00:03:10] Love cannot be purchased with

[00:03:10] The promise of more gold

[00:03:10] Giving brings a lot of joy

[00:03:10] And this I do believe

[00:03:10] But aren't the ones who give so much

[00:03:10] Entitled to recieve

[00:03:10] Why do we keep on giving

[00:03:10] Is it right that we should please

[00:03:10] The very ones who'd like to see

[00:03:10] Our country on her knees

[00:03:10] If we must give then we should use

[00:03:10] A different policy

[00:03:10] And give to only those who treat us

[00:03:10] Fair and honestly

[00:03:10] We give to those who quickly take it

[00:03:10] Posing as a friend

[00:03:10] Then just as quickly turn and bite

[00:03:10] The hand that's feeding them

[00:03:10] I'll be accused but I don't feel

[00:03:10] I'm acting selfishly

[00:03:10] 'Cause I believe the country that

[00:03:10] Remains strong will stay free

[00:03:10] To give is great but are we giving

[00:03:10] More than we can stand

[00:03:10] I question this, cause first with me

[00:03:10] Comes my own native land

[00:03:10] I question this, cause first with me

[00:03:10] Comes my own native land
