My own land has closed its gates on me
All alone in world, it's scaring me
I am here to prove you wrong
I'm accused of something I live for
In my dreamland, there's some who understands
A friendly soul, trusting life in my hands
Yes, I gave it all I can
Now it's invaded by a stranger
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own
My old land is but a pile of sand
Cold and bare but something still is there
I am here to claim my land
You can't keep me away forever
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own
I'm a true patriot, you are my land,
you have my soul, you have all I had
Now I am here, and I want it all back
In my dreams, I climb the hills I see
and let a gentle breeze lead me to
plains I once have seen and
Clear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find
I build a house right there
that you can't take away
I am here to claim my land
you can't keep me away, forever, ever
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own
All alone in world, it's scaring me
I am here to prove you wrong
I'm accused of something I live for
In my dreamland, there's some who understands
A friendly soul, trusting life in my hands
Yes, I gave it all I can
Now it's invaded by a stranger
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own
My old land is but a pile of sand
Cold and bare but something still is there
I am here to claim my land
You can't keep me away forever
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own
I'm a true patriot, you are my land,
you have my soul, you have all I had
Now I am here, and I want it all back
In my dreams, I climb the hills I see
and let a gentle breeze lead me to
plains I once have seen and
Clear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find
I build a house right there
that you can't take away
I am here to claim my land
you can't keep me away, forever, ever
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own

Now that I think of if, it also sort of reminds me of The Odyssey. In The Odyssey, Odysseus is drafted into the Trojan War. he tries to act crazy so that he won't go, but that throw his infant sin in front of a plow he is driving, and Odysseus can't bring himself to hurt his child, so his crazy act ends. He's away at the Trojan War for 20 years, and when he returns to Ithaca he finds that a lot of pushy suitors have invaded his home. They are harassing his wife to marry them and disrespecting his teenage son Telemachus.
He teams up with his won Telemachus to kill all the suitors and reclaim his estate.
