Finlandia: A Song of Peace
this is my song, oh god of all the nations
a song of Peace for lands afar and mine
this is my home, the country where my heart is
here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine
but other hearts in other lands are beating
with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine
my country’s skies are bluer than the ocean
and sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine
but other lands have sunlight too and clover
and skies are everywhere as blue as mine
oh hear my song, oh god of all the nations
a song of Peace for their land and for mine
If you’d like to see a touching performance of this song, here’s a link to the Indigo Girls and Missy Higgins singing Finlandia a capella. Happy Memorial Day to you all!
Happy Memorial Day Marly, hope you are enjoying your long weekend! Beautiful song!

It was a good holiday. As we walked by this cemetery to take the picture, there was a Memorial Day service. It was a great way to start out the holiday.
