I Am My Nation Lyrics

Warning, danger lies ahead
It seeks to sunder us my friend
I never thought that I could live
Despite the fear
Yet another rainy morning
Yet the light is not alive, nor am I
A noose around my neck so cold
It robs me of my fight

The fires at dawn
Rarefied, unending
The powers condone
Through the mires descending

I am my nation
And I'm asking you to follow through
To see the light my friend
Give us life to breathe and try
Give us hope to dream again
The confidence and power to defend
Hear the cries of ancient times
Echo through the air

Endless sorrow
Silently I cry and slip the world
Through my hands
No tomorrow
Evidence has stolen all my faith
And who's to blame

In doubt and remorse
I will find salvation
In numbers, in force
The madness screams damnation

I am my nation
And I'm asking you to follow through
To see the light my friend
Give us life to breathe and try
Give us hope to dream again
The confidence and power to defend
Hear the cries of ancient times
Echo through the air
