🎤 Lyrics + Audio
Chorus
I’m Land! The strength, the stand
The foundation firm beneath your hand.
My features roar across the sand,
I am creation — the power of Land!
Verse 1
I’m the free gift of nature, born, not made,
Eternal essence, no price, no trade.
I’m immovable, rooted and grand,
Mountains and valleys — I hold the land.
I’m fixed in supply, can’t increase my kind,
Measure my worth, you’ll lose your mind.
From soil to sea, from stone to strand,
I’m the endless gift — the mighty land!
Verse 2
I differ in use, I change by place,
Fertile or barren, still hold my grace.
I’m indestructible, I never fade,
Empires crumble — yet I stay laid.
The law of diminishing returns I command,
Use me with wisdom, and wealth will expand.
From forests to fields, I rule the span,
Unmoved, unbroken — I am the land!
Chorus
I’m Land! The strength, the stand,
The heart of life, the soul of man.
Nature’s own child, both fierce and grand,
These are my features — the power of Land!
