In My Country

Lyrics: Hayley Reardon Music: Hayley Reardon In my country All the life is hard In my country Sacred are the scars In my country
The rules were written backwards In the vacant streets of night And you learn what you once were As it burns before your eyes Our ears will ring forever With the strange perverted truth That bombs swallowed our music And war swallowed our youth
In my country All the life is hard In my country Sacred are the scars In my country
We walk the land of prophets We walk the land of grief Heartbreak is an anchor That will bind you to your feet And the stain will seep down in us ‘Til all we see is rage And we’ll say the fight is holy ‘Cause it’s God who set the stage
In my country All the life is hard In my country Sacred are the scars In my country
Who’s your God Who’s your God Choose your God
If freedom was a trophy For all that you’d endured Well there comes a time when even you Would take what you had earned Oh, cause I’ve seen things you’ll never I know light from dark And every curse around me Put a prayer inside my heart
For my country For my country Sacred are the scars In my country
Who’s your God Who’s your God Choose your God
