Britain's Lands
by Bob Moore © 2017
The freedoms Britain has today,
were bought with British blood
the men and women went to war
because they understood
to be free you had to fight
for that which you believed
and those of us, they left behind
could only pray and grieve
but now the war is in our streets
and its those we tried to save
they were not, what we thought they were
and spurned the help we gave
they try to change our way of life
to what they left behind
but we have pride in what we are
and we’ll fight for it they’ll find.
They would use our freedoms,
of speech, and thought, and life
to try to change the way we live
and fill our world with strife
but we will stand together
those who wish to join us can
but those who stand against us
will need a better plan
we will survive the terror
and still be strong and free
and those who would destroy us
they eventually will see
Britain is Green, from British Blood
and floats on British Tears
and its freedoms and democracy
will last another thousand years
