Lyrics

No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess, conquer my country's heart
They rise to fail
She is eternal
Long before nations' lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born
And you ask me why I love her
Through wars, death and despair
She is the constant
We who don't care
And you wonder will I leave her—but how?
I cross over borders but I'm still there now
How could I leave her?
Where would I start?
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
My land's only borders lie around my heart
Written by: Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Tim Rice
