Land of Our Fathers lyrics

Gather round me, children,

there's a story you must hear.

Come sit beside me here by the fire.

Look upon the faces

lit gently by the flames.

I'll tell you of our loss

and name the ones to blame.

We were strong

and we were brave

(we were brave)

had a world and a way of life

men died to save.

From the east

came a mighty storm

and the land built by our fathers

was no more.

There was a time when we were many

as the stars up in the sky,

a mighty people angels held up high.

Though I can't remember

how we came to bend,

one day we looked around us

and watched our world end.

We were strong

and we were brave.

(We were brave).

We had a world and a way of life

men died to save (men died to save).

From the east

came a rushing storm

and the land built by our fathers

was no more.

Gather round me, children,

there's a story you must hear.

Come sit beside me by the fire

(by the fire).

Look upon the faces

lit gently by the flames.

I'll tell you of our loss

and name the ones to blame.  

(We were strong).

We were strong

and we were brave,

had a world and a way of life

men died to save.

From the east

came a mighty storm

and the land built by our fathers

was no more.

We were strong,

we were brave,

had a world and a way of life

men died to save.

From the east

came a mighty storm

and the land built by our fathers

was no more.
