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
