The Power and the Glory

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

Her glory shall rest on us all (on us all)

From Colorado Kansas and the Carolina's too

Virginia and Alaska from the old to the new

Texas and Ohio to 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

Her glory shall rest on us all (on us all)

Yet she's only as rich as the poorest of her poor

Only as free as the padlocked prison door

Only as strong as our love for this land

Only as tall as we stand

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

Her glory shall rest on us all (on us all) ^[1]
