LYNN BECKMAN: Hear Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

VERSE 1

A CRIMSON LIGHT BREAKS AWAY THE NIGHT
TO UNVEIL THE SPENDORS OF A MIGHTY SEA
FROM HER SHORES OF SAND TO HER MOUNTAIN LANDS
THE FREESTATE IS CALLING ME

VERSE 2

WILD RIVER ROLLS FROM HER MOUNTAIN SLOPES
THE POTOMAC FLOWS ON EASTWARD TO THE SEA
GIFT OF GRACE IN AN ENDLESS RACE
A LIFELINE TO THE CHESAPEAKE

CHORUS

MY HOMELAND IS MARYLAND
A TREASURE OF NATURE’S HARMONY
WADING OCEAN TIDES, REACHING UP TO THE SKY
SHE SINGS HER SONGS OF HOME SWEET HOME TO ME

VERSE 3

I HEAR THE CALL OF THE MOURNIN’ DOVE
AND, AN EAGLE FLIES TO HEIGHTS ON A SUMMER’S BREEZE
THE MEADOWS SWAY, AND THERE’S NEW MOWED HAY
IN THE VALLEY’S WHERE CATTLE FEED

VERSE 4

ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE MASON-DIXON LINE
SHE’S LONG BEEN KNOWN A HAVEN FOR THE FREE
WITH A SPIRIT BOLD EVEN THOUGH SHE’S SMALL
HER LEGENDS STAND HER TALL IN HISTORY

REPEAT CHORUS
MY HOMELAND IS MARYLAND………. (etc.)

VERSE 5

OCTOBER CHILLS ROLL ACROSS HER HILLS
AND THE GREEN LEAVES OF SUMMER TURN TO GOLD
UNDER DARKER SKIES WHEN AUTUMN GLORIES DIE
SHE RESTS HER WEARY SOUL BENEATH THE SNOWS

REPEAT CHORUS

MY HOMELAND IS MARYLAND…………(etc.)

END WITH TAG--

SHE SINGS HER SONGS OF HOME SWEET HOME TO ME
