The Power & The Glory Lyrics - A Hero Of The Game - Phil Ochs

Come 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 

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 

Glory shall rest on us all 

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? 

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 

Glory shall rest on us all 

Yet she's only as rich as the poorest of the poor 

Only as free as the padlocked prison door 

Only as strong as our love for this land 

Only as tall as we stand 

Oh, 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 

Glory shall rest on us all 

Come 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 

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 

Glory shall rest on us all, on us all
