GWell I can stand beside Dideals I think are right
GAnd I can stand beside the Didea to stand and fight
EmI do believe there's a Ddream for everyone

GThere's room enough here for Dscience to live
And there's Groom enough here for Dreligion to forgive
EmAnd try to understand all the Dpeople of this land
CThis is D7our Gcountry
Chorus:
From the Ceast coast 
To the Gwest coast
Down the Emdixie highway back Dhome
CThis is D7our Gcountry
GThat poverty could just Danother ugly thing
And Gbigotry would be seen Donly as obscene
And the Emones that understand help the Dpoor and common man
CThis is D7our Gcountry

And this Gcountry it belongs to Dfolks like me and you
So Emlet the voice of freedom Dsing out through this land
