Exodus
The Hounds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God gave this land to me
Though I am just a man
When you are by my side
With the help of God I know I can be
Strong
God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plains
Then I see a land where children can run free
So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me
Though I am just a man when you are by my side
With the help of God I know I can be strong
The lyrics to The Hounds' song Exodus are a poignant reflection on the idea of belonging and the influence of faith on personal strength. The opening line, "This land is mine," appears multiple times throughout the song and reiterates the significance of personal ownership and pride in one's homeland. The following line, "God gave this land to me," ties in faith as a way to validate and justify the sentiment of ownership.
The chorus features a repetition of the idea that when the singer is with someone they love, and with the help of God, they can be strong. This highlights the emotional impact of personal connections and the spiritual support that can be gained through faith. The concluding lines beautifully evoke the ideal of freedom, describing a vivid vision of a land where children can run free.
Overall, Exodus is a song that reflects on the profound connection between personal identity, faith, and the land we call home. It highlights the emotional weight of these concepts and their influence on personal strength and resilience.

Den här låten har jag aldrig hört förut!? OK den är inte så bra heller men tack ändå för att du la ut den. Har du möjligen "Sealed Wtih a Kiss" för uppladdning också? DEN skulle jag mycket gärna lyssna till :)
