             G                   C             D            G 
These are my people, this is the land where my forefathers lie 
                        C                 D          Am            D 
These are my people, in brotherhood we're heirs of a creed to live by 
  G              D           C                    G 
A creed that proclaims that by loved one's blood stains 
           Am   C     D            G 
This is my land,  and these are my people 
 
 
These are my people, they were born on and lived by the land 
These are my people, and their cities were raised by hard working hands 
And their faces do tell, that they're holding on well 
To this their land, yes these are my people 
 
 
These are my people,  these are the ones who will reach for the stars 
These are my people, by the light of the earth you can tell they are ours 
A new step to take and a new day will break 
For this my land, yes these are my people 
 
These are my people
