For Home and
Country (to the tune of Westering Home)
|
Verse- Women are finding some new parts
to play,
Broader the paths though less tranquil the way:
But friendship and caring forever will stay
In the heart of our Home and our Country
Chorus - In this fast changing world we will try to be true
To the values and skills that our forefathers knew:
With the best of the old and the best of the new
We'll take pride in our Home and our Country |
