Lyrics Ray Davies – Our Country
Text:
Walking ’round my old hometown
Looking for some faces that once knew me
Though all the streets still look the same
Only memories remain
This is my country
And I can’t believe
That one day I want to leave these shores forever
This is our country
It’s a proud country
And we’ll build a better world to live in our country
People came from all locations
Heading for a new life here in our country
Different cultures, race and creed
Building a society
Gone is the land I used to know so well
This is our country
It’s a proud country
And we’ll build a better world to live in our country
People came from all parts of the world
To settle in this great land
To live in peace and harmony
That was the dream
This is our country
It’s a proud country
So let’s build a better world tomorrow
Build a better world tomorrow
People came from distant shores
Setting sail across the water
We’ll make this country great once more
This is our country
It’s a proud country
And we’ll build a better world to live in our country
Our country
