And never yearn to live in Countries far away
They live and grow old where theirs is a known face
As the people who were born with a sense of place
Some of them their children are fathers and mothers today
And the ancestral sense of place gene in many of their descendants stay
Like their parents and grandparents for to see the bigger World they feel no desire
For their loyalty to place one them can only admire
The children as their parents did drink in the same pub
And in sports always support their local sporting club
In their hometowns they retain a lifetime sense of pride
Free of the desire to travel far and wide
Their strong sense of place their lifetimes they retain
And in most of their descendants the gene of place does remain.
