Where I Belong
I stand and look, from lofty peak

Oh such emotion, I cannot speak

For there is my valley, where I was born

It stands at the end, of a promising dawn

It's a scene that fills, my heart with pride

Where courage, beauty, stand side by side

Green rolling mountains, reach to the sky

As if in silent prayer, to him on high

Now stilled mines, a dark silhouette

A lasting monument, to blood, tears, sweat

To those still entombed, in a coffin of coal

Courage a password, in that hungry black hole

But brave Rhondda, found time to rejoice

As songs from  hearts, resounded in voice

This land of my fathers, that is home to me

There is nowhere else, I would rather be

My heart is here, in this land of song

My Rhondda Valley, where I belong
