Tom: A
A
Here I Stand
D
Here in this great big country
A E A
Like the first man, only me
D
And the whole of creation
A E A
I’m happy, this is a home, for me
A
I will walk
D
Over the hills and the valleys
A E A
To the forest and the streams, through the desert
D
And down by the ocean
A E A
Following my dreams, cause I am free
[Chorus]
E A
I give thanks, to the creator for it all
D E
All that’s been given to me
D A E
And I promise, to take care of it all, for
A
others to see
[Verse 2]
A
There’s food and water
D
And there’s shelter to hide me
A E A
From the raging storm, and this land
D
How it grows in side me
A E A
Keeping me warm, and safe
A
I will sit
D
Sit down by the river
A E A
Watch the fish swim by, and mother earth
D
Will protect and keep me
A E A
Keep me from all harm, my spirit of place.
[Chorus]
E A
I give thanks, to the creator for it all
D E
All that’s been given to me
D A
And I promise, to take care of it all,
E A
for others to see
