My Own Native Land
Marty Robbins
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
In this troubled world today We're asked to lend a hand Which I will, but first with me Comes my own native land Gladly will I help this world And give all that I can It isn't selfishness but first Comes my own native land Is it right that we should give And give until it hurts To a foreign land that treats us Just like so much dirt Those who lead us have forgotten Love is in the soul Love cannot be purchased with The promise of more gold Giving brings a lot of joy And this I do believe But aren't the ones who give so much Entitled to receive Why do we keep on giving Is it right that we should please The very ones who'd like to see Our country on her knees If we must give then we should use A different policy And give to only those who treat us Fair and honestly We give to those who quickly take it Posing as a friend Then just as quickly turn and bite The hand that's feeding them I'll be accused but I don't feel I'm acting selfishly 'Cause I believe the country that Remains strong will stay free To give is great but are we giving More than we can stand I question this, cause first with me Comes my own native land I question this, cause first with me Comes my own native land
