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 the 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
