LYRICS

No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
They rise to fail
She is eternal
Long before nations' lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born

And you ask me why I love her
Through wars, death and despair
She is the constant
We who don't care
And you wonder will I leave her -- but how?
I cross over borders but I'm still there now

How can I leave her?
Where would I start?
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
My land's only borders lie around my heart

Scot, I watched Josh Groban's version and yours: what I find in comparing others with your wonderful abilities' is that you have so much emotion and compassion in your performances. Josh's performance, his body seemed so rigid, where you bring so much more believeability to your character.

Lovely as always! I want to see you perform live on stage. I would be in tears. You are so amazing.

Good job. I take it you're a bass.  I noticed you drop the key down a major 4th. Nice tone. It has a different feel to it down there. Keep it up, like to hear more. Push yourself into a higher key just out of you comfort zone. Great song choice.

This is pretty good but no comparison to Josh Groban. This guy does have a beautiful voice though.

Brilliant..You never cease to amaize me.
