new day dawning

thank you

lord

for a new day dawning

over our mountains and valleys of green

thank you

lord

for a new day dawning

and shining your light from above

thank you

lord

for a new day dawning

over our mountains and valleys of green

thank you

lord

for a new day dawning

and shining your light from above

all over this land that we love

this is our land; this is where we belong

here between mountain and sea

here is our future and here is our past

and here

we are destined to be

this is our land; this is where we belong

these are our fields and our farms

god gave us protection and gave us the right

and gave us the strength in our arms

thank you

lord

for a new day dawning

over our mountains and valleys of green

thank you

lord

for a new day dawning

and shining your light from above

all over this land that we love

this is our land; this is where we will stay

and fight for the right to be here

this is the land where our fathers have spilled

their blood and their sweat and their tears

this is our land; this is where we belong

and where we intend to remain

we'll drive the invader back over the sea

again and again and again and again and again and again
