Until the last breath, I take,
Or till the last moment, my soul remains,
Nothing shall erode the bonding I have,
With the green hills of England,
That wait for my return.
The boundless waters around our isle home,
That bounces off my feet and creates the foam,
The trees and the hedge that now sway to the tune,
Of the far-away blue and the dimming moon,
Shall forever wait for the return of England's golden child,
Into the daylight that clears off the wild.
The sun will shine once more,
I shall be there and England shall wait,
Beneath the cold sky shrouding the mist,
Because pain and joy are life's given chances,
To recover and rejoice from the blows of destiny,
The rains will not stop and so we must try,
To shelter our hopes and look beyond the cry,
For the merry things that we had ever said and done,
England will remain and so shall the fun.
