My people came to this country
\nIn need of a land that was free
\nAnd I think the only thing I can do
\nIf a decent man I’d be,
\nIs to walk with my head held high and proud
\nFor the blood that runs in me.
\n* * *
\nAnd God bless all the dipping fields
\nFrom the mountains to the sea,
\nAnd grant that I walk like a fearless man
\nFor the blood that runs in me.
