(Tim Rice/Benny Andersson/Bjoern Ulvacus)
|
from the musical, Chess
|
|
|
|
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, and 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 ask me would I leave her -- but how?
|
I cross over borders but I'm still there now
|
|
|
How can I leave her?
|
Where would I start?
|
Let men's petty nations tear themselves apart
|
My land's only borders lie around my heart
