Eritrea

[Verse] I feel so close to the roots of my soul The soil of the Red Sea On and on I go I stand for my people Eritrea's our home [Chorus] For my people Eritrea's our home For my people Eritrea's our home For my people Eritrea's our home [Verse 2] I got my eye on the things to come But my mind's still on the things we've done The good die young Our time will come They cannot deny us And we will rise up In this life or the next My people We're blessed For our families We'll stand up and fight for the rest Because we're better than the world could ever know The new generation It's our time to grow [Bridge] From Asmara streets to the edge of the coast We carry the names that mean the most Old stories in the backs of our minds New hands building better times No matter how far the road may go We keep that fire where the red earth grows [Chorus] For my people Eritrea's our home Raise it up Let them know where we come from For my people Eritrea's our home Hands up high We won't let this one die young For my people Eritrea's our home Louder now Till the whole wide world sings along For my people Eritrea's our home We are here We are rooted, we are strong
