Give Me Your Hand

Just give me your hand,
and strum* the love.
Just give me your hand
and I'll walk with you,
through the streets of our land,
through the mountains so grand.
If you give me your hand.

Just give me your hand,
and come along with me.
Will you give me your hand,
and the world it can see,
that we can be free,
in peace and harmony?
From the north to the south.
From the east to the west.
Every mountain, every valley,
every bush and birds nest!
By day and night, you will struggle and strife,
and beside you, to guide you, forever, my love.
For love's not for one,
but for both of us to share.
For our country so fair,
for our world and what's there.

Just give me your hand,
and strum* the love.
Just give me your hand,
for the world it is ours.
All the sea and the land,
through the ?????? ???????**.
If you give me your hand.

Just give me your hand,
in a gesture of peace.
Will you give me your hand
and all troubles will cease,
for the strong and the weak,
for the rich and the poor?
All peoples and creeds,
let's meet their needs.
With a passion, we can fashion,
a new world of love!

By day and night, you will struggle and strife,
and beside you, to guide you, forever, my love.
For love's not for one,
but for both of us to share.
For our country so fair,
for our world and what's there.

Some words I couldn't make out:
* Sounds like "Strum" or, phonetically, "stir rum", but could be "stirs up"?

** In referential context, it must be a geographical place name.
I, however, have absolutely NFI what or where it is.
