Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heal our land, heal our land
Heal our land, heal our land
[Verse 2]
The boy became a grown up man
The moment that they said you never can
They said you may be very good
But down below you'll stay, it's understood
[Verse 3]
No, he says it's wrong to judge the state of man
By whether fate has made him pale or tan
I do believe in order that truth can be real
[Verse 4]
We must heal our land
Heal our land, heal our land
Heal our land today
Heal our land
Heal our land, heal our land (Our land)
Heal our land today
[Verse 5]
Don't delay now, don't delay now
Our land, don't delay
[Verse 6]
The girl became a raging fire
The moment that they said forget desire (Desire)
This land of opportunity is not the same for you
It may be wise
[Verse 7]
No, she will not bow and meekly stand aside
She will not leave to please their selfish pride
She will be still
In order that truth can be real
[Verse 8]
We must heal our land
Heal our land, heal our land
Heal our land today (Don't you know?)
Heal our land
Heal our land, heal our land (Our land)
Heal our land today
[Verse 9]
We will not wait until tomorrow (Tomorrow)
See, the children of the land demand today (Today)
You and your promises are hollow
You only stand in freedom's way
[Verse 10]
(Don't delay now, don't delay now)
Heal our land, heal our land
(Heal our land today now, don't delay)
[Verse 11]
Oh no, he says it's wrong to judge the state of man
By whether fate has made him pale or tan
I do believe in order that truth can be real
[Verse 12]
We must heal our land (Don't delay now)
Heal our land, heal our land
(We're gonna make it right, we're gonna make it right)
Heal our land (We're gonna make it right, oh)
[Verse 13]
Heal our land
Heal our land, heal our land
(Gonna heal the land tonight, girl)
Heal our land
[Verse 14]
Heal our land (Heal, heal)
Heal our land, heal our land (Today now)
Heal our land (Today now, today)...
