Lyrics

Looking for the good land
Going astray
Don't cry, don't cry
Oh I can't have honey and I can't have cream
Gonna live, not die
Gonna live, not die
I'll stand in the middle of it all one day
I'll look at it shining all around me and say
I'm here! I'm here!
In the good land
In the new land
I'm here
