Our Country (Alternative Version)

[Verse 1]

Well, I can stand beside

Things 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

[Chorus]

From the east coast

To the west coast

Down the Dixie Highway

Back home

This is our country

[Verse 2]

Well, there's room enough here

For science to live

And there's room enough here

For religion to forgive

And try to understand

The other people of this world

This is our country

[Chorus]

From the east coast

To the west coast

Down the Dixie Highway

Back home

This is our country

[Verse 3]

That poverty could be

Just another ugly thing

And bigotry should be

Seen only as obscene

And the ones that run this land

Help the poor and common man

This is our country

[Chorus]

From the east coast

To the west coast

Down the Dixie Highway

Back home

This is our country

[Verse 4]

Someday the dream will leave

Or else it will come true

And the more that we believe

The better we will do

And let the voice of freedom

Sing out through this land

This is our country

[Chorus]

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
