My Finland
Except for the dream in our mothers' eyes
You and I would still ride the wind
A pair of seeds that no one needs
Least of all your Finland
Chorus:
This land, your Finland,
This land, my Finland,
Will always be the heart of you and me
My Finland
Except for the gleam in our fathers' eyes
You and I would have never been
We'd never lay in this purple shade
Never known my Finland
Chorus
Except for the beam from some god's mind
You and I would have never seen
The diamond morn' where peace was born
In a place we called my Finland
Chorus
Note: This song is a more recent version (or update) of the song "Soul's Island" that
be found in the album "A House is Safe From Tigers". I did this version because it's the
I'm more familiar with.
