The Power and the Glory
Phil Ochs



C'mon & take a walk with me thru this grren & growin' land
Walk thru the meadows & the mountains & the sand
Walk thru the valleys & the rivers & the plains
Walk thru the sun & walk thru the rain

Here's a land full of power & glory
Beauty that words cannot recall
O her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom
Her glory shall rest on us all

Am G / / C Em / F G

From Colorado, Kansas & the Carolinas too
Virginia & Alaska, from the old to the new
Texas & Ohio & the California shore
Tell me who could ask for more?

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
