I was spending some time in North Carolina in the area that my fathers side of the family has lived for Hundreds of years and wound up writing this song as a poem. Then I put it away and a couple of years later I was working on a piece of music when out of the blue a thought came to me and I dug the poem out of the archives and it was a perfect fit. I had never written a song in this fashion before and so was a great experience as a writer. I hope you enjoy it.A special "thank you" to my wife Christine who directed and shot the footage and also edited the video.Christine's Channel:http://www.youtube.com/Christine66Filmed at Itchetucknee Springs State Park, FloridaWalking in My Father's Land ~ written by Gary Noland - (copyright 2008, all rights reserved)Walking in my Father's Land / Even though I never knew the man / All of whom and what he was / Has a lot to do with who I am / There is more to it than meets the eye / It's like a classic piece of art / There's a primal urge to scream and cry / For there's a beating rhythm in the heart/ And I go walking / in my Father's land / I am talking / to a gentle wind / Now I'm talking / to myself again / Walking alone / No memories, just fabled stories / It's like the hour glasses sand / Dreams that fizzled into glory / Walking in my Fathers land / Those who came first were drawn into the past / By time who has a mighty hand / I've learned that dreams of men can't last / While walking in my Father's land / And I go walking in my Father's land / I am talking to a gentle wind / Now I'm talking to myself again / Walking alone / There are two signs written out for man / One is on stone above his grave / The other's written in his heart that only, Christ can save /And I go walking in my Father's land/And I'm talking to myself again / Walking alone /Honors for This Video: 2-14-08#44 - Most Discussed (Today) - Music#88 - Top Rated (Today) - MusicThank you!.
