No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
They rise to fail
She is eternal
Long before nations' lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born

And you ask me why I love her
Through wars, death and despair
She is the constant, we who don't care
And you wonder will I leave her - but how?
I cross over borders but I'm still there now

How can I leave her?
Where would I start?
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
My land's only borders lie around my heart 


…..


‘Such words’ as Tonya said in Zhivago. They could only be written for Russia and they are very relevant today.

How does that anthem provide an answer today when countries are self-destructing themselves under leadership of traitors to their own countries only interested in own enrichment?   Leaders should think about what is in that quoted anthem and maybe through reflection thye are their to lead their people on a better life then the one they face at present.
