Song For America Lyrics - Two For The Show - Kansas

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
