Standard (EADGBE)
Except for the dream in our mothers' eyes
You and I would still ride the wind
A pair of seeds that no one needs
Least of all your Finland
Chorus
This land, your Finland,
This land, my Finland,
Will always be the heart of you and me
My Finland
Except for the gleam in our fathers' eyes
You and I would have never been
We'd never lay in this purple shade
Never known my Finland
Chorus
Except for the beam from some god's mind
You and I would have never seen
The diamond morn' where peace was born
In a place we called my Finland
Chorus
Note: This song is a more recent version (or update) of the song "Soul's Island" that
be found in the album "A House is Safe From Tigers". I did this version because it's the
I'm more familiar with.
