Roy Orbison - This Is My Land Lyrics
The sun on the rim of the hill overlooking all that I love
Lights up every leaf and blade, birds circling high above
With trembling hand I reach down and say "This is my land"
This land will pass on to my child, when he's grown
And when he's a man he'll do what he can
For this my land, this is my land
When young men die in glory and for freedom take their stand
May they sing this same proud story, this is my land
When life fades away, and my body is laid to rest in the ground
May this comfort fill my soul here on the land, I know
That those after me say with much dignity
"This is my land, this is my land"

I'm a Roy Orbison fan thew and thew, what a singer and wonderful person he is,his music will always keep him alive, thanks Roy for just being you.
This is only the second time I heard this song. It is a genuine ROY song, with real meaning and a great high finish. Love it !!
Thank you. I just love this song as well!
I have been listening to the Big O for over 50 years, and this is one of my favourite tracks
so have I, but this is the first time I heard this one.
@Shirley Moore 9?
to me Roy is still the best
He will be singing this song to the angels on high ! Never has anyone come near the voice range, clear spoken words, sung even clearer !
Roy is a genius, I love all his songs.
Presley, Orbison, end of.
Never heard this til today. Beautiful song 🗿🗿🔥🗿🗿
Have been playing this song since 1966 and still love this song.Must try and get on CD
I had the original album, at the time - it's on CD now! I think it is my favourite Big O track - a dangerous thing to say, as he turned out so much great stuff!
I first heard this about 30 years ago, having bought a copy at an oldies record shop,and I have always thought it should be added to the patriotic song playlists that we hear on radio & TV around Memorial Day and Veteran's Day.It's that good,and Roy was and is one of the all-time greats!
My all time favorite Roy Orbison song
Mine too!
I bought this album when it was released in England 1966. this song is still as powerful now as it was then.
I had never heard this before. I love it. Thanks for sharing!
This song has haunted me since I first heard it over 40 years ago. It was largely unavailable in the US.
Great to hear it again. It has held up well over time. My memories of this song (on LP) are again alive.
Roy was truly the greatest, and is still missed.
Just beautiful....exactly what we've all come to expect from the Master
A great singer and a great song! Thanks for sharing.
