Lady Sovereign - Song For America

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 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 Mountainsides, Buildings to the Sky, People All
Around
Houses Stand in Endless Rows, Sea to Shining Sea, 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
