Capo I

             G                   C             D            G
These are my people, this is the land where my forefathers lie
                        C                 D          Am            D
These are my people, in brotherhood we're heirs of a creed to live by
  G              D           C                    G
A creed that proclaims that by loved one's blood stains
           Am   C     D            G
This is my land,  and these are my people


These are my people, they were born on and lived by the land
These are my people, and their cities were raised by hard working hands
And their faces do tell, that they're holding on well
To this their land, yes these are my people


These are my people,  these are the ones who will reach for the stars
These are my people, by the light of the earth you can tell they are ours
A new step to take and a new day will break
For this my land, yes these are my people

These are my people
