Here I stand in the middle of the land   Take my hand in the middle of the land      You'll see something that's new in the sunshine   You'll be the winter that's turning to springtime      Here I stand in the middle of the land   Take my hand in the middle of the land      Someday someone will try to confuse you.   They'll say things you want to hear and they'll use you.   I thought we'd live and learn   But some folks seem to yearn   For values unsophisticated.   Those days are dead and gone   I won't wish them back upon   A world that's much more complicated.      Here I stand in the middle of my ...   Take my hand, I'm always glad to lend a hand.      They'll try to blind you with T.V. religion.   Don't buy their hand-me-down second - opinions.   Sometimes the biggest lies   Are most easily disguised,   Dressed up like the Road To Glory,   Then somewhere down the line   You'll rub your eyes and find   You're on a path to your own Purgatory.      You'll know something as old as the moonlight,   You'll throw superstition and fear away tonight.   They'll paint us black and white,   They'll paint us wrong and right,   They'll paint us all into a corner.   They'll try to cool us down   But they could never fool us now.   We're steamed-up hotter than a Swedish Sauna!      Here I stand in the middle of the land   Take my, take my hand - your horizons will expand.   Land - in the middle, middle of the land   (Land on me.)
