MY MOTHERLAND

You care for every grain of sand
And every drop of water in your name
You are a beautiful creation on earth
Do not weep for difficulties of the past
God will bless, so smile and be glade

Your life a long history and culture
And experienced the ups and downs
You are inflicted with hate and shame
Do plant the seeds of love and pride
God to make rain fall and seeds to grow

You love every child of your land
The dead, the living and the unborn
You are the best of all motherlands
Do not differentiate among your children
God differentiate between good and the evil

You have ignited the minds of your children
And have embraced the call for true freedom
You lead people to forgiveness and justice
Do not be afraid to open your heart
God is just and merciful on His creation

You are proud of children you have born
The loyal, the truthful and the just
You see also every cruelty of your land
Do not turn your face from reality
God will face you to a beautiful dawn
