[03:03.41] Virgin land of forest green
[03:05.41] Dark and stormy plains
[03:07.47] Here all life abounds
[03:10.10] Sunlit valley, mountain fields
[03:12.66] Unseen in the rain
[03:14.47] Here all life abounds
[03:17.22] No man rules this land
[03:19.60] No human hand
[03:20.72] Has soiled this paradise
[03:24.22] Waiting patiently
[03:26.04] So much to see
[03:27.79] So rich in earth's delights
[03:30.60] Painted desert, sequined sky
[03:32.97] Stars that fill the night
[03:35.22] Here all life abounds
[03:37.79] Rivers flowing to the sea
[03:40.03] Sunshine pure and bright
[03:42.35] Here all life abounds
[03:44.78] No man rules this land
[03:46.79] No human hand
[03:48.10] Has soiled this paradise
[03:51.79] Waiting patiently
[03:53.41] So much to see
[03:54.85] So rich in earth's delights
[04:10.84] So the maiden lies in waiting
[04:15.10] For the sails to reach the shore
[04:19.72] Land of beauty and abundance
[04:23.85] Innocent, you opened wide your door
[04:28.35] Wanderers found the waiting treasure
[04:30.79] Full of gifts beyond their measure
[04:33.03] Milk and honey for our pleasure
[04:40.80] Across the sea there came a multitude
[04:45.11] Sailing ships upon the wave
[04:49.67] Filled with the visions of utopia
[04:54.55] And the freedom that they crave
[04:58.17] Ravage, plunder, see no wonder
[05:00.43] Rape and kill and tear asunder
[05:02.61] Chop the forest, plow it under
[08:37.17] Highways scar the mountainsides
[08:38.98] Buildings to the sky
[08:40.79] People all around
[08:43.48] Houses stand in endless rows
[08:45.42] Sea to shining sea
[08:47.54] People all around
[08:50.17] So we rule this land
[08:52.29] And here we stand
[08:53.55] Upon our paradise
[08:56.85] Dreaming of a place
[08:58.60] Our weary race
[09:00.17] Is ready to arise
