lyrics

TAKE MY COUNTRY BACK
Copyright 1990 Walter Salas-Humara
Published 1990 Voltone Music (BMI)

I'm on my way
On my way to find you
I'm on my way to make you see what's plain is plain
I'm out there on the ground
Marching to corner you

I don't know why you are blind to your wrongs
I don't know why you pretend to be so strong
But I'm marching on to corner you

I'm coming home
Coming home to find you
I won't let you drag your secrets after you or shake your head
I've come to take my country back
Because she loves me
She loves me
She loves me dearly

I'm on my way
On my way to find you
I'm on my way to make you see what's plain is plain
I'm out there on the ground
Marching to corner you
Marching to corner you
