Note: A song for Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna (2011)

If I could recall the day I was born

I’m certain I did say

This is my home, where I belong

It’s where I’ll forever stay

Land of great heirs

Land of the bear

This land I call my own

Oh if I did leave if I did go

I would be doomed to roam

Because you only get one forever home

No place on earth

Can rival your worth

No empire could mirror your grace

In the arms of those I love

I know I’m blessed because

I have my eternal place

Support us in these days

To God I send praise

From this land I call my own

Oh if I did leave if I did go

I would be doomed to roam

Because you only get one forever home

Then this place on earth

Was robbed of her worth

No nation would look upon her face

In the arms of those who hate

We share her fate

I and my eternal place

We bleed for you

Will you bleed for us too

This land I call my own

Oh if I did leave if I did go

I would be doomed to roam

Because you only get one forever home

Before Jesus died

Before he laid down his life

To a thief he did reply

I assure you today

You will be with me

In Paradise

Days later, Mary wondered where he’d gone

Soon thereafter to prepare our forever home
