Power and 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
