God Bless the
U.S.A.
by Lee Greenwood

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked
for all my life,
And I had to start again
with just my children and
my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars
to be living here today,
'Cause
the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that
away.

I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know
I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to
me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still
today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the
U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of
Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas
from sea to shining
sea.
From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.,
There's
pride in every American heart
and it's time we stand and say:

I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know
I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to
me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still
today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the
U.S.A.

America
by Samuel F.
Smith

My country, 'tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of
Liberty
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the
pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let Freedom
ring.

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble
free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and
templed hills,
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that
above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the
trees
Sweet Freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all
that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound
prolong.

Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of
Liberty,
To thee we sing,
Long may our land be bright
With
Freedom's holy light,
Protect us by thy might
Great God, our King.

Our glorious Land to-day,
'Neath Education's
sway,
Soars upward still.
Its hills of learning fair,
Whose
bounties all may share,
Behold them everywhere
On vale and hill!

Thy safeguard, Liberty,
The school shall ever
be,
Our Nation's pride!
No tyrant hand shall smite,
While with
encircling might
All here are taught the Right
With Truth allied.

Beneath Heaven's gracious will
The stars of
progress still
Our course do sway;
In unity sublime
To broader
heights we climb,
Triumphant over Time,
God speeds our way!

Grand birthright of our sires,
Our altars and our
fires
Keep we still pure!
Our starry flag unfurled,
The hope of
all the world,
In peace and light impearled,
God hold
secure!

America, the Beautiful

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves
of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited
plain.
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy
good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern
impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the
wilderness.
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy
soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.

O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating
strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than
life.
America! America! May God thy gold refine
Till all success be
nobleness,
And ev'ry grain divine.

O Beautiful for patriot dream
that sees beyond
the years.
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human
tears.
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy
good with brotherhood,
From sea to shining
sea.

=========================================

God Bless America
by
Irving Berlin

"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,

Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be
grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

God Bless America.
Land that I love
Stand
beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from
above.
From the mountains, to the prairies ,
To the oceans, white
with foam
God bless America
My home sweet
home."
