lyrics

WONDERFUL PLACE

For better or for worse we all ended up right here
Tangled up in mountains hills and oceans
Our ancestries shared destiny that brought us to this land
Now here we are together: what are we gonna do?

We all belong here – we all grew strong here
What a wonderful place to call home
What a wonderful place to call home
What a wonderful place to come home to
What a wonderful place to call home

Golden hills and green savannah, rivers full of rain
Thunderstorms that promise new beginnings
On any dusty road a smiling face a helping hand
Can you believe we live here? Do you realize…

We all…

So stop complaining, stop your crying, the past is over now
We can turn our struggle into dancing
Put your shoulder to the plough just like your fathers did
The worst is behind us – the best is yet to come!

We all…
