Secret Country

We were seventeen
thought we knew everything
well, I know you
and you know me

at the sacred ceremony
it was just us,
of the peace we had
I can simply say that it was holy

when I let you into

my secret country
my secret country
on nation only God had ever seen but me
and you became its queen

We were thirty-five
the last few years were hard and I
wondered if you cared
if your ears could hear

the fights we had
angry nights we wend to bed
you said \"this needs to change\"
and we were not the same

when you led me to

your secret country
your secret country
one nation only God had ever seen set free
and freedom came for me

land still undiscovered
deep and flowing living water
forests gree and mountains reaching
to the skies that hold the stars for you and me
