Lyrics - Finlandia by Indigo Girls

"
Finlandia" is a
Sibelius composition, which the girls recorded ontheir 1986
EP.
Live versions are
VERY infrequent, but they haveperformed it as recently as last
March.
Finlandia.
This is my song,
O
God of all the nations
A song of peace for lands afar and mine
This is my home, the country where my heart is
Here are my hopes and dreams, my holy shrine
But other hearts in other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.
My country's skies are bluer than the ocean
And sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine
But other lands have sunlight, too, and clover
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine
O hear my song, thou
God of all the nations
A song of peace for their land and for mine.
