*Every Land I Touch*
Whenever you’re leaving wherever you live,
Leave part of you behind
Wherever you go,
Go with a heart of gold
That glows with the good of your land
Everywhere you go give your heart,
And everything you touch wherever you go turns gold
Everywhere you go,
Every land you touch you turn your home,
And every man you meet you find a brother
Every land you touch, bring the spice of your land,
This earth is one and its people – black, white or red –
Live on blood that’s scarlet flowing in veins similar
Wherever you go, go with a heart of gold
And you’ll find it your land of gold
A place of comfort and part of you
As every land I touch becomes a home and part of me
