Píseň: The Power And The Glory

Interpret:
Phil Ochs
Album:
All The News That´s Fit To Sing
Come on and take a walk with me 
Thru this green and growing land
Walk thru the meadows 
And the mountains and the sand
Walk thru the valleys 
And the rivers and the plains
Walk thru the sun and walk thru 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
Her 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
Her glory shall rest on us all 


Yet she's only as rich as the poorest of her poor
Only as free as the padlocked prison door
Only as strong as our love for this land
Only as tall as we stand


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 


Come on and take a walk with me 
Thru this green and growing land
Walk thru the meadows 
And the mountains and the sand
Walk thru the valleys 
And the rivers and the plains
Walk thru the sun and walk thru 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
Her glory shall rest on us all 
On us all
