For My Country
by Mariza
Like a vision
That I keep inside
A memory locked away
No borderlines
No enemies
No religion to betray
That I keep inside
A memory locked away
No borderlines
No enemies
No religion to betray
And I have felt the change
And it hurts me too
That no distance can deny
And it hurts me too
That no distance can deny
This is for my country
Still battered and still bruised
I´ve come to offer all I can
I will fight for you
I will fight for you
Still battered and still bruised
I´ve come to offer all I can
I will fight for you
I will fight for you
You climb a hill
Yet you fall down a mountain
When the truth is hard to face
And envy you
So proud and strong
Still your people you embrace
Yet you fall down a mountain
When the truth is hard to face
And envy you
So proud and strong
Still your people you embrace
And I am part of that
What you´ve given me
I have come to give it back
What you´ve given me
I have come to give it back
This is for my country
The spirit of my song
I´ve seen you suffler long enough
And it´s where I belong
The spirit of my song
I´ve seen you suffler long enough
And it´s where I belong
It´s where I belong
I will keep my word
I will retrify
With all that I am worth
I will keep my word
I will retrify
With all that I am worth
This is for my country
Forever I am bound
With every bit of strength I hold
I´d never let you down
I´d never let you down
Forever I am bound
With every bit of strength I hold
I´d never let you down
I´d never let you down
It´s where I belong
