Standard (EADGBE)

Except for the dream in our mothers' eyes

You and I would still ride the wind

A pair of seeds that no one needs

Least of all your Finland

Chorus

This land, your Finland,

This land, my Finland,

Will always be the heart of you and me

My Finland

Except for the gleam in our fathers' eyes

You and I would have never been

We'd never lay in this purple shade

Never known my Finland

Chorus

Except for the beam from some god's mind

You and I would have never seen

The diamond morn' where peace was born

In a place we called my Finland

Chorus

Note: This song is a more recent version (or update) of the song "Soul's Island" that

be found in the album "A House is Safe From Tigers". I did this version because it's the
