The more I read the papers,

The less I comprehend

The world and all its capers

And how it all will end



Nothing seems to be lasting

But that isn't our affair

We have something permanent

I mean in the way we care



Of thee I sing, baby

Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby

You're my silver lining

You're my sky of blue

There's a lovelight shining

Just because of you



Of thee I sing, baby

You have got that certain thing, baby

Shining star and inspiration

Worthy of a mighty nation

Of thee I sing
