1
In this troubled world today
2
We're asked to lend a hand
3
Which I will, but first with me
4
Comes my own native land
5
Gladly will I help this world
6
And give all that I can
7
It isn't selfishness but first
8
Comes my own native land
9
Is it right that we should give
10
And give until it hurts
11
To a foreign land that treats us
12
Just like so much dirt
13
Those who lead us have forgotten
14
Love is in the soul
15
Love cannot be purchased with
16
The promise of more gold
17
Giving brings a lot of joy
18
And this I do believe
19
But aren't the ones who give so much
20
Entitled to receive
21
Why do we keep on giving
22
Is it right that we should please
23
The very ones who'd like to see
24
Our country on her knees
25
If we must give then we should use
26
A different policy
27
And give to only those who treat us
28
Fair and honestly
29
We give to those who quickly take it
30
Posing as a friend
31
Then just as quickly turn and bite
32
The hand that's feeding them
33
I'll be accused but I don't feel
34
I'm acting selfishly
35
'Cause I believe the country that
36
Remains strong will stay free
37
To give is great but are we giving
38
More than we can stand
39
I question this, cause first with me
40
Comes my own native land
41
I question this, cause first with me
42
Comes my own native land
