Now the grain fields are fallow, as the dawn weaves her spell Threads of gold light, this sceptred of realms For the plough blades were shallow where the last blossom fell When the wind blows it whispers "farewell" There's a place where the mighty honour justice and peace This homeland where the heart is, 'decries not the beast' Where the green fields and valleys meet the wide-open seas This proud land where the heart is, defines them to me Can a man's life be measured by the good he embraced? Are the years just the lines on his face? Must the seasons be treasured as we slowly decay? When the love in a heart never fades There's a place where the mighty honour justice and peace This homeland where the heart is, 'decries not the beast' Where the green fields and valleys meet the wide-open seas This proud land where the heart is, defines them to me
