"This is my song"

"This is my song" lyrics were written by Lloyd Stone back in the 1930's.  I found it in the book INSIDE THE RED ZONE by Mike Ferner. He reported that the song was taught to school children in Baghdad back in 2003, after the invasion by the US military.  It was also sung in NYC after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

THIS IS MY SONG

This is my home
The country where my heart is
Here are my dreams
My hopes, my holy shrine
But other hearts
In other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams
As deep and true as mine

Oh hear my song
O God of all the nations
A song of peace
For their lands and for mine

This is my song
O God of all the nations
A song of peace
For lands afar and mine
