	Story Behind the Song Lyrics Image of Irony The morning sun is rising over new fields of green. Hills are rolling westward to the sea. Big clouds are floating to lands I’ve never seen. I know what this always meant to me: My country ‘tis of thee, Land of instant imagery. I’m living in a dream world with no place to crawl. I’m standing out here watching all my destiny fall. It’s giving me good reason with no meaning at all. Like looking at the faces at a masquerade ball. I read the evening paper about the moon and the war. The column next to hunger and disease. It struck me kinda funny I’d seen this one before, Lost among the crying and the pleas To my country ‘tis of thee; Instant land of irony.
