lirik lagu andrew peterson - land of the free
little elba, how’s the sun in south america?
does it shine upon the faces of the poor?
do they see in it the brilliance of the place that’s been prepared
and dwell upon the hope of what’s in store?
or are they just like me, do they only see
an opportunity to complain about the heat?
and little elba how’s the rain in south america?
does it fall upon the rooftops of the sick?
do they thank the lord for coming up with such a great idea
and dream about a place beyond all this?
or are they just like us do they gripe and fuss
about the rain and mud when they’ve had too much?
’cause i’m just a little jealous
of the nothing that you have
you’re unfettered by the wealth of
of a world that we pretend is gonna last
well i’m weary of the spoils of my ambition
and i’m shackled by the comfort of my couch
well i wish i had the courage to deny these of myself
and start to store my treasure in the clouds
’cause this is not my home
i do not belong
where the antelope and the buffalo roam
and i’m just a little jealous
of the nothing that you have
you’re unfettered by the wealth of
of a world that we pretend that’s going to last
well they say god’s blessed us with plenty
but i say you’re blessed with poverty
’cause you never stop to wonder
whether earth is just a little better than the land of the free
so i hope you’re safe and dry in south america
cause i’m feeling pretty good in tennessee
but may you never be so happy that you forget about your home
your home in the land of the free
