Power And The Glory |
| Come and take a walk with me thru this green and growing land |
| Walk thru the meadows and the mountains and the sand |
| Walk thru the valleys and the rivers and the plains |
| Walk thru the sun and walk thru the rain |
| Here is a land full of power and glory |
| Beauty that words cannot recall |
| Oh her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom |
| Her glory shall rest on us all (on us all) |
| From Colorado, Kansas, and the Carolinas too |
| Virginia and Alaska, from the old to the new |
| Texas and Ohio and the California shore |
| Tell me, who could ask for more? |
| Yet she’s only as rich as the poorest of her poor |
| Only as free as the padlocked prison door |
| Only as strong as our love for this land |
| Only as tall as we stand |
| But our land is still troubled by men who have to hate |
| They twist away our freedom & they twist away our fate |
| Fear is their weapon and treason is their cry |
| We can stop them if we try |
