C
Come on and take a walk with me through this green and growing land,
Am Dm
Walk through the meadows and the mountains and the sand,

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

Yet our land is still troubled by men who have to hate
Am Dm
They twist away our freedom and they twist away our fate
F
Fear is their weapon and treason is their cry.
F G
We can stop them if we try.
