This Land Is Mine

Written with Kev Carmody

FATHER:
This land is mine
All the way to the old fence line
Every break of day
I’m working hard just to make it pay

This land is mine
Yeah, I signed on the dotted line
Campfires on the creek bed
Bank breathing down my neck
They won’t take it away
They won’t take it away from me

TRACKER:
This land is me
Rock, water, animal, tree
They are my song
My being is here where I belong

This land owns me
From generations past to infinity
We’re all but woman and man
You only fear what you don’t understand
They won’t take it away
They won’t take it away from me

FATHER: This land is mine
TRACKER: This land is me
FATHER: This land is mine
TRACKER: This land is me
TOGETHER: They won’t take it away
They won’t take it away
They won’t take it away from me
