The Power and the Glory

Power And The Glory - Phil Ochs
Come and take a walk with me
through this green and growing land
Walk through the meadows
and the mountains and the sand
Walk through the valleys
and the rivers and the plains
Walk through the sun
and walk through 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
Glory shall rest 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?
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
Glory shall rest on us all
Yet she's only as rich as
the poorest of the poor
Only as free as the padlocked prison door
Only as strong as our love for this land
Only as tall as we stand
Oh, 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
Glory shall rest on us all
Come and take a walk with me
through this green and growing land
Walk through the meadows
and the mountains and the sand
Walk through the valleys
and the rivers and the plains
Walk through the sun
and walk through 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
Glory shall rest on us all, on us all
