This Land Of Mine Opening

This is my land and I love it,
A country of lakes and of streams,
Of mountains and wind-swept prairies,
A land where the sunlight gleams.
It’s a land that was settled by heroes,
The venturesome, brave pioneers.
It stands as a symbol of freedom,
That will greater grow through the years.
This is the land that I cherish…
It stands as a guiding star…
For those who, tired and discouraged,
Have come here from countries afar.
It’s a land were the lowly and humble
Can dream and their dreams can come true,
Where we are proud of our starry emblem,
Of red and of white and of blue.
This is my land and I love it,
And wherever my thoughts may roam,
Always there comes that great feeling
Of pride that this is my home.
