Exodus
United Dreams: Embracing Strength and Freedom
Lyrics
This land is ours
This land is claimed by a collective "us."
This land's for you, for me
This land is meant for everyone, including you and me.
This great and glorious land I see
The speaker views the land as great and glorious.
And when the morning sun
Referencing the morning sun, symbolizing a new beginning.
Reveals her hills and plains
The beauty of the hills and plains is revealed.
Then I see a place
A specific place is visualized.
Where children can run free
A place where children can enjoy freedom.
So take my hand
The speaker invites someone to join in the journey.
And walk this land with me
An invitation to explore and experience the land together.
And walk from sea to shining sea
An aspiration to traverse the entire nation.
Though I am just a man
The speaker acknowledges their humanity.
When you walk by my side
Being accompanied by someone important.
With your hand in mine
The physical connection symbolizes support and unity.
I know I can be strong
The presence of a supportive companion makes the speaker feel strong.
To make this land our own
An aspiration to collectively claim and possess the land.
If I must fight, I'll fight
Expressing readiness to fight for the land if necessary.
To make this land our own
Reiterating the determination to make the land a collective possession.
Until I die
An unwavering commitment to the cause until death.
This land is mine
Reaffirmation that the land belongs to the speaker.
