This land of ours, once wild and free Endless plains, golden and green This land of ours, once was our home Chased the sun in the seasons, where the buffalo roamed This land is all we need It's our God and our lifeblood, it's our everything This land changed when the train rolled in Brought sadness and strangers, bullets and sin This land is all we know Not a thing to possess, not something to own The American dream, it ain't for me So I'll fight to be free This land of ours, I don't know anymore Cities of steel and buffalo bones This land was taken and sold Worth more than trinkets, Jesus of gold The American dream, it ain't for me So I'll fight to be free This land is on its own Can't fight machines, arrows and bows The American dream, it ain't for me So I'll fight to be free Free
