lyrics

This Land
Copyright 2007 Mighty Hud Music

This land is all I know
These hands have made it grow
Cleared out all the weeds
And left these rolling fields and live oak trees

My mama lived down here
Back when this land was clear
Great white fields of cotton
Stretched out far as eye can see

Everything must change
I know this much is true
Lord please send the rain
And may this land always belong to You

This land has seen it's share of hard times
The earth grows cracked and cries for rain
Woe be to the man who would divide this land
You know it would never be the same

Everything must change
I know this much is true
Lord please send the rain
And may this land always belong to You
