Homeland

I’ve have seen people

Living in cardboard homes

In some back alley

Lost and alone

The wino is sleeping

While the bag lady cries

For the soul in the next box

Who flew on tonight

{Chorus}

We’ve got to take care

Of the homeland first

Feed all our children

And quench their thirst

You can’t be a brother

To the whole wide earth

Until you

Take care

Of the homeland first

We open our doors

For all to behold

Give us your hungry

And give us your poor

Give us your tired

And give us your old

They’re gonna find

All that glitters ain’t gold

{chorus}

We sing of the Heartland

And of it’s amber grain

Now that heart is breaking apart

Tears are rolling down the fruited plain

All across this country

There is anger and fear

Will the horn of plenty

Be empty next year

Some time ago

We heard the alarm

But now, another heart man

Has lost his farm

{chorus}
