Die on my own land

rappop

(Verse 1)
All my brothers, all my sisters, crossing the seas,
Chasing dreams in the land of plenty, leaving me.
Australia calls them, a brighter life to find,
But I stand here with the troubles that they leave behind.
Fighting battles, fists in the night,
Corruption steals what’s left of the light.

(Pre-Chorus)
I see the way out, I feel the pull too,
But the weight on my shoulders won’t let me move.
A man’s burden, my people’s cries,
I can’t desert the place where my spirit lies.

(Chorus)
I will die on my own soil, under the sky I know,
With the winds of my land and the rivers that flow.
Though storms may come, though darkness stays,
I’ll carry my people through the longest days.
I am the heart of this land that I love,
I’ll stand with my roots, not rise above.

(Verse 2)
They leave in search of a life that's kind,
Leaving me to face the chaos they leave behind.
Politicians rob us, lies every day,
But I’ll fight for truth, no matter what they say.
The struggle is heavy, the nights are cold,
But I carry the fire of stories told.

(Pre-Chorus)
The pressure to run is real and near,
But I’ll stay grounded, I’ll conquer fear.
For what is a man if he leaves his home,
To wander lands where his soul can’t roam?

(Chorus)
I will die on my own soil, under the sky I know,
With the winds of my land and the rivers that flow.
Though storms may come, though darkness stays,
I’ll carry my people through the longest days.
I am the heart of this land that I love,
I’ll stand with my roots, not rise above.

(Bridge)
My blood in this earth, my soul in each tree,
Papua New Guinea is where I must be.
No riches, no gold, can buy who I am,
I’m a man of my people, I’ll take my stand.

(Chorus)
I will die on my own soil, under the sky I know,
With the winds of my land and the rivers that flow.
Though storms may come, though darkness stays,
I’ll carry my people through the longest days.
I am the heart of this land that I love,
I’ll stand with my roots, not rise above.

(Outro)
So go, my brothers, fly high, be free,
But know that here, I will always be.
For this land is my soul, my blood, my pride,
And I’ll live, fight, and die with it by my side.
