This song gives me hope. The description from the first two verses still very much applies, more in some states than others, but in every state. And the Indians certainly held to the ideal that "no man rules this land."
The third and fourth verses describe the arrival of others, and how the land was reshaped, with the fifth verse showing the consequences. No, things aren't perfect here, but overall they're better here than anywhere else I can think of. And we've certainly learned from many of our mistakes. And now we hold to the ideal that we all rule this land, and have a stake in its future.
