Come on and take a walk with me through this green and growing land,

Walk through the valleys and the rivers and the plains,
Dm G
Walk through the sun and walk through the rain.

Here is a land full of power and glory,

Oh, her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom,
Am C G
her glory shall rest on us all!

Tell me, who could ask for more?

Only as tall as we stand.

We can stop them if we try.
