Carolyn Wonderland This Land lyrics

This land of rock and of mud
Built upon layers of blood
Where once our forefathers stood
Will one day return to wild woods

How many drops in the sea
Of poison can there really be?
How many creatures must die
before there's none more to give us red tides?

This land of rock and of mud
Built upon layers of blood
Where once our forefathers stood
Will one day return to wild woods

We sing a death march how long
Be it muskets or nuclear bombs
God's on your side cause you're livin'
But you can't fight for peace, that's given


This land of rock and of mud
Built upon layers of blood
Where once our forefathers stood
Will one day return to wild woods

When all our time here is done
and out of earth's kitchen we are run
the dirt will sprout forth with new trees
Such a pity can't none of us see it

This land of rock and of mud
Built upon layers of blood
Where once our forefathers stood
Will one day return to wild woods
