The land of plenty lyrics

Don't really have the courage

To stand where I must stand

Don't really have the temperament

To lend a helping hand

Don't really know who sent me

To raise my voice and say:

May the lights in the land of plenty

Shine on the truth some day

I don't know why I've come here

Knowing as I do

What you really think of me

What I really think of you

For the millions in the prison

That wealth has set apart

For the Christ who has not risen

From the caverns of the heart

For the innermost decision

That we cannot but obey

For what's left of our religion

I lift my voice and pray:

May the lights in the land of plenty

May the lights

May the lights in the land of plenty

May the lights

May the lights in the land of plenty

Shine on the truth some day

I know I said I'd meet you

I'd meet you at the store

But I can't buy it, baby

I can't buy it anymore

And I don't really know who sent me

To raise my voice and say:

May the lights in the land of plenty

Shine on the truth some day

For the innermost decision

That we cannot but obey

For what's left of our religion

I lift my voice and pray:

May the lights in the land of plenty

May the lights

May the lights in the land of plenty

May the lights

May the lights in the land of plenty

Shine on the truth some day
