The Orbison Way

The sun on the rim of the hill overlooking all that I love 
 Lights up every leaf and blade, birds circling high above 
 With trembling hand I reach down and say "This is my land" 


 This land will pass on to my child, when he's grown 
 To love it as much as I, for all the sons gone by 
 And when he's a man he'll do what he can 
 For this my land, this is my land 


 When young men die in glory and for freedom take their stand 
 May they sing this same proud story, this is my land 


 When life fades away, and my body is laid to rest in the ground 
 May this comfort fill my soul here on the land, I know 
 That those after me say with much dignity 
 "This is my land, this is my land"
