Take this homeland's soil, hold it in your hand,
Mark your brow with its sacred brand.
The soil that birthed you, sing its praise,
Echo its virtues through your days.

Though earth, it yields a golden grace,
A treasure thieves cannot erase.
This gold, this wealth, beyond compare,
Embrace it wholly, with utmost care.

Strangers came, from distant shores,
To fill their bellies, at our doors.
While they slumbered, dreams so sweet,
Close now the gates, their steps to meet.

The soil that birthed you, evermore...
