Strong (All Through This Land) - Big Country

I see a land

Stood at the crossroads

Burnt by the fire

Scarred by the flames

Blood on my hands

Smoke in my lungs

Blisters on my fingers

Nil by mouth

It takes all that you are

All that you can be

It takes all that you can give

Still gives back what’s been given

All through this land (all through this land)

Walk on and be strong

Oh oh oh oh-oh

Call it a flood-land

Call it a home

Call it what you want

You’ll never be alone

In times of trouble

And through it all

In this land of my fathers

Where my children walk

All through this land I see

The crossings of the river

The water gives us life

And takes back what’s been given

All through this land (all through this land)

Walk on and be strong

Through all this time I’ve walked the line

A wave against the rising tide

A wind against a hurricane

The river flows, the sea remains

All through this land (all through this land)

Walk on and be strong (all through this land)

Walk on and be strong (oh oh, oh oh)

Oh oh (oh oh, oh oh)

The river flows (oh, oh)

The sea remains (oh, oh)

All through this land (oh, oh)

Walk on ahead (oh, oh)

It takes all that you are (oh, oh)

All that you can be (oh, oh)

The river flows (oh, oh)

The sea remains (oh, oh)
