Bill Beare - It's Country

Not a very good start
In fact it breaks my heart
But we know that it's not over yet
A chance to grow with the left-overs left
To hold you closer to my chest

And I don't pretend to get it; your incite and your connection
But that I have said it, is a step in the right direction
To admit it and accept it that I don't understand your call to country
But I regret it, and I'm sorry man
For watching you fall apart in front of me
What a curse on humanity
The worst of depravity

But sometime better when things change
When I get it when you say

Stones and mud and dust
Bones and blood; it's us
We don't own it but we trust
In our dreams and what's unseen
In Country. It's Country

The onus every time
Is on us left-overs left behind
Time has thrown us into a different space
From which we can not escape
Implausible to assimilate

You know we can't accept our fate so I won't give up and say it's broken
And although the time is way too late, we both know the way is still open
To dance and sing all the songs. I stand before you as a witness
And a chance to right some wrongs
In hope, I offer you forgiveness
Together we can rid this land of our bitterness

And sometime better things will change
When you get it and we both say

Stones and mud and dust.
Our bones and blood; it's us
We don't own it, we're just entrusted with what we know isn't just
Stones and Mud and Dust
It's our bones, it's our blood; it's us
No, we don't own it but we trust
In what's real and what's unseen
In Country, it's Country, it's Country

It's our bones it's our blood; it's us
We don't own it but we won't let it go and all be lost
It's Country, it's Country
No, we don't own it but it's a must to save what's part of us
It's Country, it's Country
