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