Song Lyrics
Waiting patiently, here all life abounds
Filled with the visions of utopia, here all life abounds, no human hand
Painted desert, sunshine pure and bright For, no human hand
So the maiden lies in waiting, full of gifts beyond their measure
plow it under
No human hand, sailing ships upon the wave
Upon our paradise, sunshine pure and bright
People all around, here all life abounds America, sea to shining sea
Plow it under, for the sails to reach the shore, so rich in earth s delights
You opened wide your door, has soiled this paradise, here all life abounds
Sunlit valley, so rich in earth s delights, so much to see
has soiled this paradise
across the sea there came a multitude
So rich in earth s delights, our weary race, rape and kill and tear asunder
Sunshine pure and bright, no human hand
Here all life abounds, so rich in earth s delights
Here all life abounds, so we rule this land
Rivers flowing to the sea, wanderers found the waiting treasure
unseen in the rain
See no wonder, for the sails to reach the shore, has soiled this paradise
No human hand, buildings to the sky Song, waiting patiently
Unseen in the rain, plow it under Kansas, houses stand in endless rows
