[Verse 1]
D                                     A              D
In this troubled world today, we're asked to lend a hand
                                      A              D
Which I will, but first with me, comes my own native land
G                                  D
Gladly will I help this world, and give all that I can
                                       A             D
It isn't selfishness but first, comes my own native land

[Verse 2]
D                                     A              D
Is it right that we should give, and give until it hurts
                                   A                 D
To a foreign land that treats us, just like so much dirt
 G                                  D
Those who lead us have forgotten, love is in the soul
                                     A              D
Love cannot be purchased with, the promise of more gold

[Verse 3]
D                                A          D
Giving brings a lot of joy, and this I do believe
                                        A           D
But aren't the ones who give so much, entitled to receive
 G                                D
Why do we keep on giving, is it right that we should please
                                        A            D
The very ones who'd like to see, our country on her knees

[Verse 4]
D                                      A         D
If we must give then we should use, a different policy
                                      A             D
And give to only those who treat us, fair and honestly
G                                       D
We give to those who quickly take it, posing as a friend
                                         A                   D
Then just as quickly turn and bite, the hand that's feeding them

[Verse 5]
D                                      A            D
I'll be accused but I don't feel, i'm acting selfishly
                                     A                       D
'Cause I believe the country that, remains strong will stay free
G                                     D
To give is great but are we giving, more than we can stand
                                            A              D
I question this, cause first with me, comes my own native land
                                            A              D
I question this, cause first with me, comes my own native land
