(G major) (G minor) (G major) (G minor)
Verse 1
This is my (G minor) homeland,
the place (F major) where I was born, (C major) (G major)
(G minor) And through my childhood, (B flat major)
was safe (F major) and secure, (E flat major)
(G minor) Like many children, (B flat major)
knew nothing (F major) of war, (G minor)
We were playing (E flat major) and laughing and playing,

Verse 2
(G minor)
Here's another (B flat major) photograph
of where (F major) we used to love, (C major) (G minor)
Our house (B flat major) was always a safe (F major) place to be,
(E flat major) (G minor)
But now it's (B flat major) gone, only (F major) rubble and dust, (G minor)
We were hoping (E flat major) and praying and hoping,
Oh, (B flat major) (F major) all has (G minor) gone;
Verse 3
This is my (B flat major) homeland,
the place (F major) where I was born, (C major) (G minor)
And like my father (B flat major) and (F major) his one before,
(E flat major) (G minor) We've raised our families (B flat major)
and (F major) worked for them all, (G minor)
With our (E flat major) hopes and our dreams

Verse 4
And (G major) then came the thunder and
so many people running,
From the cities (Dsus4) and the (D major) battlefields,
(E minor)
And as the bombs (F major) rained down,
We were hiding (E minor) from the bullets
and the (Dsus4) (D major) guns;
Verse 5
Oh can (E minor) you imagine (D major) how it (C major) has been for
us (G major) to be (C major) losing everything? (Dsus4) (D major)
As the world (E minor) stood still (D major) we would never (C major) know
(G major) what (C major) every day (D major) would (G major) bring;
Every day, every day,
(Gsus4) (G major) (Dsus4) (D major) every day;
Verse 6
So we came (G major) to your country,
you were there with open arms,
To give shelter (Dsus4) (D major) from the storm, (E minor)
We are doctors (F major) and lawyers,
And (E minor) all of us people like (Dsus4) (D major) you;
Verse 7
Oh can (E minor) you imagine (D major) how it would (C major) be for
you (G major) to be (C major) losing everything? (Dsus4) (D major)
As the world (E minor) stood still (D major) you would (C major) never
know (G major) what (C major) every day (D major) would bring (G major) ,
Every day, every day,

For (C minor) better days (F major) ahead.
