This is the theme song from the movie Exodus (words added after the movie was made). The movie (and the novel by Leon Uris) is a compelling story how after the genocide practiced during World War II, the Jewish people fought for the homeland which was divinely promised to them in ancient times. It is one of my favorite books, one of my favorite movies, one of my favorite songs...
This land is mine, God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plain
Then I see a land where children can run free
So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong
If I must fight, I'll fight to make this land our own
Until I die, this land is mine.
This land is mine, God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plain
Then I see a land where children can run free
So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong
If I must fight, I'll fight to make this land our own
Until I die, this land is mine.
