[Verse 1]
DAD
In this troubled world today, we're asked to lend a hand
AD
Which I will, but first with me, comes my own native land
GD
Gladly will I help this world, and give all that I can
AD
It isn't selfishness but first, comes my own native land
[Verse 2]
DAD
Is it right that we should give, and give until it hurts
AD
To a foreign land that treats us, just like so much dirt
GD
Those who lead us have forgotten, love is in the soul
AD
Love cannot be purchased with, the promise of more gold
[Verse 3]
DAD
Giving brings a lot of joy, and this I do believe
AD
But aren't the ones who give so much, entitled to receive
GD
Why do we keep on giving, is it right that we should please
AD
The very ones who'd like to see, our country on her knees
[Verse 4]
DAD
If we must give then we should use, a different policy
AD
And give to only those who treat us, fair and honestly
GD
We give to those who quickly take it, posing as a friend
AD
Then just as quickly turn and bite, the hand that's feeding them
[Verse 5]
DAD
I'll be accused but I don't feel, i'm acting selfishly
AD
'Cause I believe the country that, remains strong will stay free
GD
To give is great but are we giving, more than we can stand
AD
I question this, cause first with me, comes my own native land
AD
I question this, cause first with me, comes my own native land
