Power and the Glory [Demo-Version]

Lyrics

[Intro] Okay, here's a song, um That runs in a— in a base run of— of C to E minor To A minor to G seven And then a D minor seven, D minor six, then D minor Type thing, it's a complicated thing This song is get— Has gotten more reaction than anything else I've written In such a short time, as far as people wanting to do it It's called "The Power and the Glory" It's sort of a theme song, you might say [Verse 1] Come on 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] From Colorado, Kansas and the Carolinas too Virginia and Alaska, from the old to the new Texas and Ohio and the California shore Tell me, who could ask for more? [Chorus] For 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 [Verse 3] Yet, she's only as rich as the poorest of the poor Only as free as a padlocked prison door Only as strong as our love for this land Only as tall as we stand [Chorus] For 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 [Verse 4] But our land is still troubled by men who have to hate They twist away our freedom and they twist away our fate Fear is their weapon and treason is their cry We can stop them if we try [Chorus] For 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 [Verse 1] Come on 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] On us all
