song lyrics -- this one's on my mind today

[Briar Rose 7457]

Main Theme from
EXODUS
(THIS LAND IS MINE)

Music Score by Ernest Gold
Lyrics by Pat Boone

A Mickey McBride Arrangement








THIS LAND IS MINE, GOD GAVE THIS LAND TO ME,

THIS BRAVE AND ANCIENT LAND TO ME,

AND WHEN THE MORNING SUN REVEALS HER HILLS AND PLAIN,

THEN I SEE A LAND WHERE CHILDREN CAN RUN FREE,










SO TAKE MY HAND AND WALK THIS LAND WITH ME,

AND WALK THIS LOVELY LAND WITH ME,

THOUGH I AM JUST A MAN, WHEN YOU ARE BY MY SIDE,

WITH THE HELP OF GOD, I KNOW I CAN BE STRONG,










THOUGH I AM JUST A MAN,

WHEN YOU ARE BY MY SIDE,

WITH THE HELP OF GOD,

I KNOW I CAN BE STRONG,










IF I MUST FIGHT TO MAKE THIS LAND OUR HOME,

I’LL FIGHT TO MAKE THIS LAND OUR OWN,

UNTIL I DIE, UNTIL I DIE, I WILL FIGHT UNTIL I DIE,

THIS LAND IS MINE.

 

[Micca]

We sang that in high school glee club. Lyrics by Pat Boone???? Really???
