I Want a Country
I want a country
Let the sky be blue, the bough green, the cornfield yellow
Let it be a land of birds and flowers
I want a country
Let there be no pain in the head, no yearning in the heart
Let there be an end to brothers' quarrels
I want a country
Let there be no rich and poor, no you and me
On winter days let everyone have hose and home
I want a country
Let living be like loving from the heart
If there must be complaint, let it be of death
