Lyrics to "A Land That Loves Me":

I want to live in a land
Where there's real welfare
Not just for the sick
But real healthcare
A land where the police are loved and trusted
The legal system's there to always give you justice
And prison is seen
As the very last resort
Education for all is the top priority
For all children all minorities
I want to live in a country
That cares about me
That cares about me
That cares about me
That cares about me
Where those who have a lot
Give all they've got
To raise all the boats
Helping those who have not
I want to live with a sense of community
And everybody there has equal opportunities
I want to live in a country
that cares about me
That cares about me
That cares about me
That cares about me
I want to live in a land
A land that loves me
A land that needs me
A land that believes me
This land is our land
This land is your land
Reach out take my hand
We are but one band
No man is an island
And we can rule and
United we stand
be at my right-hand
This land is our land
This land is your land
Reach out take my hand
We are but one band
