"Here is a land full of power and glory Beauty that words cannot recall Oh her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom Her glory shall rest on us all Yet she's only as rich as the poorest of her poor Only as free as the padlocked prison door Only as strong as our love for this land Only as tall as we stand" Phil Ochs was a folk singer during the 1960's and wrote many songs about the troubles of the times. A contemprorary of Bob Dylan, he never hit it big. Unfortunately, he took his own life in 1976. I wonder what songs he would have written and what fights he would have fought had he lived. - John (Yes, I'm a big admirer of his work...)
