  • Walking 'round my old hometown
    Looking for some faces that once knew me
    Though all the streets still look the same
    Only memories remain
    Gone are the folks I thought I knew so well

    This is my country
    And I can't believe
    That one day I want to leave these shores forever
    This is our country
    It's a proud country
    And we'll build a better world to live in our country

    People came from all locations
    Heading for a new life here in our country
    Different cultures, race and creed
    Building a society
    Gone is the land I used to know so well

    This is our country
    It's a proud country
    And we'll build a better world to live in our country

    People came from all parts of the world
    To settle in this great land
    To live in peace and harmony
    That was the dream

    This is our country
    It's a proud country
    So let's build a better world tomorrow
    Build a better world tomorrow

    People came from distant shores
    Setting sail across the water
    We'll make this country great once more

    This is our country
    It's a proud country
    And we'll build a better world to live in our country
    Our country
