My Country – Rachelle Van Zanten
Hey there mister, take a good look at my country
It’s the natural bona fide high
When you look up from the numbers on your paper
You might see Yakista pass you by
You might see it all pass you by
My harlem grows 500 miles from the city
‘Neath the poplars and the ever-evergreens
I roam the hills to the shorelines of the Deni
Drink the water and we raise our families
Drink the water and we raise our families
And now there’s trouble here, in a land so far away
Where all the dark suits make the rules from 1000 miles away
I’ve seen your future here, I’ve read the history
You make your money grow while killing my country
Hey there mister, take a good look at my country
It’s the Eden and the apple of my eye
You come up from your office in the city
I will meet you at the river by and by
I can not let this pass me by
