America

[Everglades W68]

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrims' pride!
From ev'ry mountainside,
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!

Since we're being patriotic:

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.

God Bless America,
Land that I love
Stand beside her,
And guide her,
Through the night
With the light from above,
From the mountains,
To the prairies,
To the ocean,
White with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
God bless America,
My home sweet home.

If tomarrow 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
'cuz the flag still stands for freedom
and they cant take that away

And i'm proud to be an american
where atleast i know i'm free
and i wont forget the men who died
to give that right to me
and i'd gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today
cuz there aint no doubt i love this land
god bless the USA

From the lakes of Minasota
to the hills of tennesse
across the planes of texas
from sea to shineing sea
from detroit down to housten
from new york to LA
theres pride in every american heart
and its time we stand and say

That i'm proud to be an american
where atleast i know i'm free
and i wont forget the men who died
to give that right to me
and i'd gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today
cuz there aint no doubt i love this land
god bless the USA

Call me a pussy if you must, but that's the only song that's ever come close to bringing a tear to my eye. I've grown up on military bases and seen what people sacrifice to keep us safe... I have so much pride in this country. G-d bless America!

I see things happening they fall before my eyes
Pretend I'm blind like I could never see the heartache that's not mine
it fills my head
can I just laugh away
The sights that tear my soul and make me sick
No I could never be so cold to look away

Is it so wrong to want to make a difference?
I'd like to think there's no excuse
Is it so wrong to want things better for yourself?
How you want to live is up to you

Wish I could be like you, indifferent to it all like life's a joke
Sarcastic, cynical like everything's ok
But it just won't work
In life you have to choose to stay at home and hide
Or stand up and fight if caring's my offense
Then I proudly stand accused so how about you

Is it so wrong to wanna make a difference?
I like to think there's no excuse
Is it so wrong to want things better for yourself
How you wanna live is up to you
