Lyrics
The Land?s Our Legacy
By Noreen Inglesi
VERSE 1
Are we building the road to our future?
Are we nursing the lands of our time?
Do we hold in our hearts
What's been true from the start?
Man must walk
With Nature at his side.
VERSE 2
Are we walking the lands oh so sacred?
Catching light from a glimmering star?
Are we leaving enough
For the songbird and thrush?
Man must plan for nature to survive.
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
VERSE 3
Are we building the bridge to our future?
Our we treasuring our sacred ground?
Are we planning today
So God's creatures can stay?
Don't we know
The land's our legacy?
Don't we know
The land's our legacy?
