Exodus
Embracing Unity: A Journey Through Shared Dreams
Lyrics
This land is ours
This land is claimed or possessed by a group or individual.
This land's for you, for me
Emphasizing that the land is meant for everyone, inclusive of "you" and "me."
This brave and glorious land I see
Describing the land as courageous and splendid from the speaker's perspective.
And when the morning sun
Referring to the time when the sun rises in the morning.
Reveals her hills and plains
As the sun illuminates the landscape, expressing the features of hills and plains.
I dream of a place
The speaker envisions an ideal place, a dream or aspiration.
Where children can run free
Desiring a space where children can move about freely.
So take my hand
Inviting someone to join the speaker on this journey.
And walk this land with me
Encouraging the idea of walking together in unity on this land.
And walk from sea to shining sea
Extending the walk from one coast to the other, symbolizing the entirety of the nation.
Tho' I am just a man
The speaker acknowledges their human status.
When you are by my side
Expressing strength and reassurance when in the company of a significant other.
With your hand in mine
Symbolizing unity and connection through holding hands.
I know I can be strong
Confidence in one's strength when supported by a loved one.
To make this land a home
A commitment to contribute to making the land a comfortable and welcoming place.
If I must fight, I'll fight
Willingness to fight if necessary to achieve the goal of making the land a home.
To make this land our own
Reiterating the determination to make the land collectively owned.
Until I die
Expressing a commitment to the cause until death.
This land is mine
Reaffirming ownership of the land.
