Andrew Lloyd Webber - God’s Own Country lyrics
[Andrew Lloyd Webber - God’s Own Country lyrics]
Where I live is God's own country
Though it's dirtier and poorer
Than he planned broken windows, broken lives
Jobless husbands, weeping wives
It may not look like God's own country
But God is love
And I know he loves this land
Though it's ragged and it's worn
It's the place where I was born
The beauty lies within in God's own country
It sleeps beneath the soil
And 'neath the sand
It's our fathers and mothers
Our heroes and martyrs
For God's in the people
And people are the land
Each new generation will rebuild the nation
That's how it's been
Since our history began
In the darkness of the night
I hear it singing
The whispering of the wind and rain
It's song
A sublime eternal tune
To the rhythms of the moon
These ancient chords were formed
In the beginning
And they sing to me, "My country
Right or wrong"
These are the songs we always sang
No one knows when they began
This fair land is God's own country
And it's Catholic and Republican and free
It's a Protestant land made
By God's perfect hand
And a Protestant country it will always be
For Ireland is mine and is so for all time
From the Atlantic Ocean unto the Irish Sea
Where I live is God's own country
I was born here, and this land belongs to me
It's in our blood and in our bones
It's the place that we call home
The beauty lies within in God's own country
It sleeps beneath the soil
And 'neath the sand
It's our mother and fathers
Our heroes and martyrs
For God's in the people
And people are the land
Each new generation will rebuild the nation
That's how it's been
Since our history began
Where I live is God's own country
Though it's dirtier and poorer
Than he planned
Though it's ragged and it's worn
It's the place where I was born
Though it's dirtier and poorer
Than he planned broken windows, broken lives
Jobless husbands, weeping wives
It may not look like God's own country
But God is love
And I know he loves this land
Though it's ragged and it's worn
It's the place where I was born
The beauty lies within in God's own country
It sleeps beneath the soil
And 'neath the sand
It's our fathers and mothers
Our heroes and martyrs
For God's in the people
And people are the land
Each new generation will rebuild the nation
That's how it's been
Since our history began
In the darkness of the night
I hear it singing
The whispering of the wind and rain
It's song
A sublime eternal tune
To the rhythms of the moon
These ancient chords were formed
In the beginning
And they sing to me, "My country
Right or wrong"
These are the songs we always sang
No one knows when they began
This fair land is God's own country
And it's Catholic and Republican and free
It's a Protestant land made
By God's perfect hand
And a Protestant country it will always be
For Ireland is mine and is so for all time
From the Atlantic Ocean unto the Irish Sea
Where I live is God's own country

Though it's ragged and it's worn
It's the place where I was born
