An insightful noise spark, an insanity so clear With one, if a million, on hind legs in cheer This land Our land Ours, by right of birth Ours, rightly deserved, through hardship and pain Our blood, there blood, these hands did stain New leaders, struggled, with caviar and crackle A struggle won, through blast of church, on a Son The killing of a farmer, and his son The **** of a mother, and her child These courageous comrades, an insane spectacle Others struggled, to put food on the table To ensure, taxes are paid Roads, schools and churches, were laid Ensured, a country was made Why then, this derogatory label Together, this land was forged A land, so rich, with its poor so peaceful, with its crime so confident, about its insecurities Healthy, with its infected Just, with its inconsistencies Fare, with its favor so busy, going nowhere, South
