Song for America歌词

[03:03.41]Virgin land of forest green
[03:05.41]Dark and stormy plains
[03:07.47]Here all life abounds
[03:10.10]Sunlit valley, mountain fields
[03:12.66]Unseen in the rain
[03:14.47]Here all life abounds
[03:17.22]No man rules this land
[03:19.60]No human hand
[03:20.72]Has soiled this paradise
[03:24.22]Waiting patiently
[03:26.04]So much to see
[03:27.79]So rich in earth's delights
[03:30.60]Painted desert, sequined sky
[03:32.97]Stars that fill the night
[03:35.22]Here all life abounds
[03:37.79]Rivers flowing to the sea
[03:40.03]Sunshine pure and bright
[03:42.35]Here all life abounds
[03:44.78]No man rules this land
[03:46.79]No human hand
[03:48.10]Has soiled this paradise
[03:51.79]Waiting patiently
[03:53.41]So much to see
[03:54.85]So rich in earth's delights
[04:10.84]So the maiden lies in waiting
[04:15.10]For the sails to reach the shore
[04:19.72]Land of beauty and abundance
[04:23.85]Innocent, you opened wide your door
[04:28.35]Wanderers found the waiting treasure
[04:30.79]Full of gifts beyond their measure
[04:33.03]Milk and honey for our pleasure
[04:40.80]Across the sea there came a multitude
[04:45.11]Sailing ships upon the wave
[04:49.67]Filled with the visions of utopia
[04:54.55]And the freedom that they crave
[04:58.17]Ravage, plunder, see no wonder
[05:00.43]Rape and kill and tear asunder
[05:02.61]Chop the forest, plow it under
[08:37.17]Highways scar the mountainsides
[08:38.98]Buildings to the sky
[08:40.79]People all around
[08:43.48]Houses stand in endless rows
[08:45.42]Sea to shining sea
[08:47.54]People all around
[08:50.17]So we rule this land
[08:52.29]And here we stand
[08:53.55]Upon our paradise
[08:56.85]Dreaming of a place
[08:58.60]Our weary race
[09:00.17]Is ready to arise
