Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Land blessed motherland the place where I was born
Scars yeah, she's got her scars sometimes it starts to worry me
'Cause lose, I don't wanna lose sight of who we are
From the mountains high to the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find better days I know
It's been a long hard ride, got a ways to go
Free, nothing feels like free
Though it sometimes means we don't get along
'Cause same, no we're not the same
But that's what makes us strong
From the mountains high, to the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find, better days I know
It's been a long hard ride, got a ways to go
But this is still the place that we all call home oh yeah
Brave got it call it brave to chase that dream across the sea
Names then they sign their names for something they believe
Red how the blood ran red and we laid our dead in sacred ground
Just think wonder what they'd think if they could see us now
It's been a long hard ride, got a ways to go
But this is still the place, that we all call home
It's been a long hard ride and I won't lose hope
This is still the place that we all call home

This song holds a special meaning to me. I am a veteran and it reminds me of all of the friends that I lost throughout my military career. We all signed up and knew the risks but we did it any way. They might be gone but they are never forgotten.

This is one of the first songs I heard back in the day when I was just a kid waking up to go to school and didn't know much English. But somehow... The words just rooted in. And that day It made me cry. I was Home.

This song brings tears. Happy tears, I'm happy I live in the United States of America. Proud to have such brave soldiers fighting for our freedom, and sad to see them die for it. To any soldier, retired or still active, thank you for what you have done or do.
