Homeland

S. Homer

There's a Homeland, a free land,

Across the sea,

Where they watch and wait,

And trust in me.

I'll go back to that land

When my task is done;

I'll go back to that land

When my fight is won,

And say to them that mourn:

"God's peace is yours forevermore."

There's a Homeland, a red land,

About me here,

Where they watch and wait,

Nor weep nor fear.

I'll go back from this land

When my task is done;

I'll go back from this land

When my fight is won,

Saying to them that mourn:

"God's peace is yours forevermore."
