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
