The Land of Plenty Lyrics

This is the Land of Plenty, at least that's what I'm told

I left my pike in Wexford, in '98 so bold

A hope to live in freedom from the crown

Where they've made some declarations and wear they're flag so proud

Oh high and low, still searching for that place

Where freedom is for any, no name or coin shall take

I worked my hands will bleeding and kept my head down low

I made my wages squarely but still I needed more

At least I'm free to speak and take a stand

But some words are much louder when from a richer man

Oh high and low, still searching for that place

Where freedom is for any, no name or coin shall take

The natives of this country say no one can own the land

It's shared by all the creatures, respect it does demand

The state requires landowners have the say

Well a different name for country, the same encumbered way

Oh high and low, still searching for that place

Where freedom is for any, no name or coin shall take

I listed in the navy to fight in 1812

Aboard a brig the Lawrence, we chased the British out

The wind ran low, we let loose the corronade

And they won't forget Lake Erie, nor I beneath the waves

Oh high and low, still searching for that place

Where freedom is for any, don't let me die in vein

This is the land of plenty, with enough to go around

With every stepping forward is over bloodied ground

In this new world there's change at every turn

If someone would just stand there and force it till we learn
