On This Land

On this land, I was Born.
Born to be Great.
Greatness, I shall attain.

On this land, I have Grown.
Grown with Pride.
Prideful joy.

On this land, I was Trained.
Trained to Be good.
Be good to all men.

On this land, my eyes opened.
opening to the greed.
The greed and selfishness of men.

On this land, I shall struggle.
Struggle for what is mine.
And mine it shall be.

On this land, I shall fight.
Fight for my freedom.
The freedom to live.

On this land, I shall battle.
Battle for the freedom.
The freedom of others.

On this land, I shall restore.
Restore our pride.
The pride that was in tatters.

On this land, I shall live.
Live and let live.
Live peacefully with others.

On this land, I shall multiply.
Multiply into dynasties.
Dynasties of heroes.

On this land, I shall harvest.
Harvest my fruits.
The fruits of my labour.

On this land, I shall die.
die with pride.
The pride of the land.

On this land, I shall live.
Live in the memories of men.
Men who will uphold the pride of the land.
