 (Kerry Livgren)
Virgin land of forest green, dark and stormy
plains, 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 for the sails to
reach the shore
Land of beauty and abunance, 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 mountainsides, buildings to the
sky, people all around
So we rule this land, and her we stand upon our
paradise
Dreaming of a place, our weary race is ready to
rise
