Love this Land ~ Okunbor, C. (APRA).

You never know just when that hammer is going to hit, so grab hold of life's beautiful moments while you can. Other times, when feeling blue and bruised, nature can be good, low cost medicine.

lyrics

Love this Land (Okunbor, C.)

Leaves upon a mountain river flying by.
Eagle soaring, lazy loops the sky.
Who would ever know,
the way these moments blow, away,
On a whipper wind.

Tonight I’ll match the rhythm of the Moon.
I’ll whisper songs while waiting for the dawn.
Who would ever know,
the way these moments blow, away,
On a whipper wind.

Though the wheels of life keep turning
And the grind is getting tough,
I don’t want to die until I’ve kissed the Earth enough.
‘Cos I love this land we’re on,
Dreaming makes me one,
Catch the moments, while you can.

With the dust of ancient rocks under my feet,
And the fairings of a new day brought to me,
Now I think I know,
The way these moments blow, away,
On a whipper wind.

Now I think I know,
The way these moments blow, away,
On a whipper wind.
