America The Beautiful
"America the beautiful" ... May it always
stay that way; But to keep "Old Glory" flying, There's a
price that we must pay.
For
everything worth having Demands work and sacrifice, And
freedom is a Gift from God That commands the highest
price.
 For all our wealth and progress
Are as worthless as can be, Without the Faith that made
us great And kept our country free.
 Nor can our nation hope to live
Unto itself alone; For the problems of our
neighbors, Must today become our own.
 And while it's hard to understand
The complexities of war, Each one of us must realize
That we are fighting for The principles of freedom
And the decency of man, And as a Christian nation
We're committed to God's Plan.
 And as the Land of Liberty
And a great God-fearing nation. We must protect our
honor And fulfill our obligation.
 So in these times of crisis
Let us offer no resistance, In giving help to those who
need Our strength and our assistance.
 And "The Stars and Stripes
Forever" Will remain a symbol of A rich and mighty
nation Built on Faith and Truth and
Love.
