In this troubled world today   We're asked to lend a hand   Which I will, but first with me   Comes my own native land   Gladly will I help this world   And give all that I can   It isn't selfishness but first   Comes my own native land      Is it right that we should give   And give until it hurts   To a foreign land that treats us   Just like so much dirt   Those who lead us have forgotten   Love is in the soul   Love cannot be purchased with   The promise of more gold      Giving brings a lot of joy   And this I do believe   But aren't the ones who give so much   Entitled to recieve   Why do we keep on giving   Is it right that we should please   The very ones who'd like to see   Our country on her knees      If we must give then we should use   A different policy   And give to only those who treat us   Fair and honestly   We give to those who quickly take it   Posing as a friend   Then just as quickly turn and bite   The hand that's feeding them      I'll be accused but I don't feel   I'm acting selfishly   'Cause I believe the country that   Remains strong will stay free   To give is great but are we giving   More than we can stand   I question this, cause first with me   Comes my own native land   I question this, cause first with me   Comes my own native land
