Ooh...
The CRed-Cchins in their FmillioGns
Will CoverCspill their FbordersG
And Cchaos Cthen will Freign in Gour RaCel
The country of my fathers
A proud land of old order
Like a goldfish being swallowed by a whale
RaBbel, the home of my reAbligion
To Bbme the center of the Abearth G
The Red-chins in their millions
Will overspill their borders
And chaos then will reign in our Rael
My heritage is threatened
My roots are torn and cornered
And so to do my best I'll homeward sail
And Cso to do my Fbest I'll Ghomeward Bbsail Bb Bb Bb

Now captain, listen to my instructions
ReBbturn to this spot on christmas Fday
BbLook toward the shore for my sigFnal
And Bbthen you'll know if in Rael I'll Abstay G

If a Gyellow G/F#flag is C/GflutteGring
Sickly Gherald G/F#against C/Gthe Gmorn

And you'll Csend your boat aGshore C/G G
But if a red flag is flying
Brazen bold against the blue
Then you'll know that I am staying
And my yacht belongs to you
BbNow captain, listen to my insFtructions
Return to this spot on christmas day
Look toward the shore for my signal
And Bbthen you'll know if in Rael I'll Abstay G

CWhat I see is all I've seen
In my Fsweetest Csleeping dreams
FWhat I feel is Call I've felt
FWhen by newborn Ambabes I've knelt
FWhat I know now isC all I've Amknown
That has been good while FI have grown
Bless the thoughts that Cmade me sail
FAnd the god who made A5Rael
