[length: 04:36]
[00:18.02]Don’t really have the courage
[00:22.55]To stand there I must stand
[00:27.05]Don’t really have the temperament
[00:31.58]To lend a helping hand
[00:36.07]Don’t really know who sent me
[00:39.66]To raise my voice and say:
[00:44.27]”My the lights in The Land of Plenty
[00:48.76]Shine on the truth some day!”
[00:52.23]
[01:00.52]I don’t know why I come here
[01:05.01]Knowing as I do
[01:09.56]What you really think of me
[01:13.24]What I really think of you
[01:17.79]For the millions in the prison
[01:22.25]That wealth has set apart
[01:26.79]For the Christ who has not risen
[01:31.22]From the caverns of the heart
[01:37.68]For the innermost decision
[01:42.13]That we cannot but obey
[01:46.68]For what’s left of our religion
[01:52.05]I lift my voice and pray:
[01:57.53]”May the lights in The Land of Plenty
[02:02.07]May the lights in The Land of Plenty
[02:06.57]May the lights in The Land of Plenty
[02:20.15]Shine on the truth some day!”
[02:27.12]
[02:33.66]I know I said I’d meet you
[02:38.16]I’d meet you at the store
[02:42.65]But I can’t buy it, baby
[02:46.26]I can’t buy it anymore
[02:50.72]And I don’t really know who sent me
[02:55.39]To raise my voice and say:
[02:59.83]”May the lights in The Land of Plenty
[03:04.35]Shine on the truth some day!”
[03:11.64]For the innermost decision
[03:15.28]That we cannot buy obey
[03:19.73]For what’s left of our religion
[03:25.22]I lift my voice and pray:
[03:33.34]”May the lights in The Land of Plenty
[03:42.30]May the lights in The Land of Plenty
[03:51.38]May the lights in The Land of Plenty
[03:55.97]Shine on the truth some day!”
