IN MY COUNTRY

No worries what happens tomorrow
No children hungry needing to cry
No hearts full of 'if only' sorrow
No families abandoned left wondering why
At times you have sadness but never despair
No darkness descends that you can't rise above
Friends ask how you are and you know that they care
And when hearts have been broken
The words that you hear
Have power to heal
When they're spoken with love

In my country
Each person is able to be
What they longed for
Deep down
Held together
In mind and emotion set free
In my country
There's power to right every wrong
It seems so far away
But I'm living today
In the place where I really belong

You're calm when you deal with a stranger
No one thinks of putting you down
No undercurrents, no hidden danger
You smile as you find no reason to frown
You look in the eyes of whoever you greet
With no sideways glances betraying your past
You're sure of a friend in whoever you meet
And the fear of rejection
Won't enter your mind
For you know there's a place
To belong to at last

In my country
Each person is able to be
What they longed for
Deep down
Held together
In mind and emotion set free
In my country
The ones who are weak become strong
It seems so far away
But I'm living today
In the place where I really belong

In my country
Each person is able to be
What they longed for
Deep down
Held together
In mind and emotion set free
In my country
New voices can sing a new song
It seems so far away
But I'm living today
In the place where I really belong
