Sing homeland smile   Our sad and lonely weakness will be gone for a while   Sing homeland smile   And give our motherland back her style      Not across an ocean, not across a sea   But in our own home town where you want to be   Past an armored car and a soldier you see   Sigh a breath now lift your strong voice up and sing      Sing homeland smile   Our sad and lonely weakness will be gone for a while   Sing homeland smile   And give our motherland back her style      Release the pressure from your chest   Of the sadness of your friends now that you long for and miss   And although they may tell you you're not worth a wage   They can't restrict you from grieving in your own chosen way      Sing homeland smile   Our sad and lonely weakness will be gone for a while   Sing homeland smile   And give our motherland back her style      Look up to the stars at the end of the day   And remember that we're here and it's a mystery   And remember the ones who have gone away   And accept a part of life now that we cannot curb or sway      Sing homeland smile   Our sad and lonely weakness will be gone for a while   Sing homeland smile   And give our motherland back her style
