Song For America - Kansas (堪萨斯)
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 R**e and k**l and tear asunder
Chop the forest plow it under
Highways scar the mountainsides buildings to the sky people all around
Houses stand in endless rows sea to shining sea people all around
So we rule this land and here we stand upon our paradise
Dreaming of a place our weary race is ready to arise
