We'll Have Our Home Again

Pine Tree Riots

    Continues after the ad

    When there's nothing left but the fire in my chest and the air that fills my lungs
    I'll hold my tears and trade my years for a glimpse at kingdom come
    On the other side of misery, there's a world we long to see
    The strife we share will take us there, to relief and sovereignty

    Oh, by God, we'll have our home again
    By God, we'll have our home
    By blood or sweat, we'll get there yet
    By God, we'll have our home

    In our own towns, we're foreigners now, our names are spat and cursed
    The headlines smack of another attack, not the last and not the worst
    Oh, my fathers they look down on me, I wonder what they feel
    To see their noble sons driven down beneath a coward's heel

    Continues after the ad

    Oh, by God we'll have our home again
    By God, we'll have our home
    By blood or sweat, we'll get there yet
    By God, we'll have our home

    The road is dark, the way is lost, my eyes, they strain to see
    I struggle forth to find a friend to light the way for me
    Oh, brothers, can you hear my voice or am I all alone?
    If there's no fire to guide my way, then I will start my own

    Oh, by God we'll have our home again
    By God, we'll have our home
    By blood or sweat, we'll get there yet
    By God, we'll have our home

    Oh, by God we'll have our home again
    By God, we'll have our home
    By blood or sweat, we'll get there yet
    By God, we'll have our home
