Song for America

Artist：kansas
Songs Title：song for america

Virgin land of forest green
Dark and stormy plain
Here all life abounds

Sunlit valley, mountain fields

Unseen in the rain

Here all life abounds

No man rules this land
No human hand has soiled this paradise

Waiting patiently
So much to see
So rich in Earth's delights

Painted desert, sequined sky
Stars that fill the night

Here all life abounds

Rivers flowing to the sea

Sunshine pure and bright

Here all life abounds

No man rules this land
No human hand has soiled this paradise

Waiting patiently

So much to see
So rich in Earth's delights

So the maiden lies in waiting

Pull the sailor into shore

Land of beauty and abundance

Innocent, you opened wide your door

Wanderers found the waiting treasure
Full of gifts beyond their measure
Milk and Honey for our pleasure

Across the sea there came a multitude

Sailing ships upon the wave

Filled with visions of Utopia

And the freedom that they crave

Ravage, plunder, see no wonder
Rape and kill and tear asunder
Chop the forest, plow it under

Highways scar the mountainside
Buildings to the sky
People all around

Unsustaining in these roads
See an eternity
People all around

So we rule this land
And here we stand
Upon our paradise

Dreaming of a place
Our weary race
Is ready to arise
