Well I can 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
and 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
Then poverty can be
just another ugly thing
and bigotry would be
seen only as obscene
And the ones that
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
The dream is still alive
some day it will
come true
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
From the east coast
to the west coast
down the Dixie Highway
back home
this is our country
