Give Us Back Our Beloved Land

Give us back our beloved Land...
The land of our never-ending smiles...
The land of our endless love...
And our warm sunshine...
The land that has been defined...
And described...
As peaceful and forgiving...
So accepting and devoted...
To souls of all nations.

Alas, woe has struck...
Time and again...
What remains...
Are our shattered hearts...
And our dissipated dreams...
Time and again...
We hopelessly try...
To maintain...
And contain...

Despair and anguish returns...
How hard we try to spurn...
In spite of all concerns...
Can't ever escape the upturn...
Of riotous ado and turbulent turmoil...

Is it too much to ask?
Is it such an impossible task?
Stop wearing those masks!!!
Stop pretending you're smart!!!
Stop with all the evoking!!!
Stop with all the provoking!!!

AND...

Give us back our beloved Land!!!
