"A Letter To Her Majesty" lyrics

My love of England is my love for the earth
The womb of the world, the grave and the birth
The trees that make the forest, the lonely, ancient oak
Stand defiant to the pull of time as we come and go
Its branches my stairway to the sky and the sun
That watched me from a baby when my love first begun

Oh England you bore me, you shaped me, you taught me
Oh there are no words with which to describe thee
You're my darling, my love, I need you beside me
Your storms, your warmth, your thunder, your lightning

My love of England is my love for her shadows
That warp as the day decays towards horizon's shallows
The buildings crafted by the hands of her men
The contemplative swing of the hands of Big Ben
Time has taught us when we move slow it moves fast
And the fire of the future turns to ash of the past

Oh England you bore me, you shaped me, you taught me
Oh there are no words with which to describe thee
You're my darling, my love, I need you beside me
Your storms, your warmth, your thunder, your lightning

Now the world is in need and in isolation
We ponder existence amidst the silence
The world is in need and in isolation
All we talk about is borders but heaven is one kingdom
The world is in need of a revolution

Oh England you bore me, you shaped me, you taught me
Oh there are no words with which to describe thee
Oh my darling, my love, I need you beside me
All your storms, your warmth, your thunder, your lightning
Your storms, your warmth, your thunder, your lightning
All your storms, your warmth, your thunder, your lightning
