Lyrics
Land of Mine Verse: Oh the world is full of countries, but there’s one that is my own, It’s the land that stood for freedom when it had to stand alone, It’s the land that gave a welcome to all men who would be free, Of all the lands around the earth, it is the land for me. Refrain: Land of mine, mine, mine! Oh, land of mine, mine, mine! From Atlantic to Pacific, from the palm tree to the pine, With the old flag waving o’er you, There’s no foe can stand before you, Land of Mine! Land of mine, mine, mine! Verse: Now your sons rise up in legions as they did in other days, With the old faith of the fathers we will march on vic’try’s ways, We have heard the rousing summons as it sped from sea to sea, And I will do my part to prove you are the land for me. Refrain Verse: Ev’ry lamp light in the window, ev’ry pray’r breathed in the night, Ev’ry drum beat in the daytime calls my soul to what is right, In the sky in stainless glory floats the old flag of the free, And in its glow the world shal
