WELL I COULD
STAND BESIDE
IDEALS I THINK ARE RIGHT
AND I CAN STAND BESIDE
THE IDEA TO STAND
AND FIGHT
I DO BELIEVE
THERE'S A DREAM
FOR EVERYONE
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY
THERE'S ROOM
ENOUGH HERE
FOR SCIENCE TO LIVE
THERE'S ROOM
ENOUGH HERE
FOR RELIGION TO FORGIVE
AND TRY TO
UNDERSTAND
ALL THE PEOPLE
OF THIS LAND
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY
FROM THE EAST COAST
TO THE WEST COAST
DOWN THE DIXIE
HIGHWAY
BACK HOME
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY
4 BAR
BREAK
AND POVERTY COULD BE
JUST ANOTHER
UGLY THING
AND BIGOTRY WOULD BE
SEEN ONLY AS OBSCENE
AND THE ONES
WHO RUN THIS LAND
HELP THE POOR
AND COMMON MAN
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY
FROM THE EAST COAST
TO THE WEST COAST
DOWN THE DIXIE
HIGHWAY
BACK HOME
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY
16 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
THE DREAM
IS STILL ALIVE
SOMEDAY IT WILL
COME TRUE
AND THIS COUNTRY
IT BELONGS
TO FOLKS
LIKE ME AND YOU
SO LET THE VOICE
OF FREEDOM
SING OUT
THROUGH THIS LAND
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY
FROM THE EAST COAST
TO THE WEST COAST
DOWN THE DIXIE
HIGHWAY
BACK HOME
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY
