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 ones who died
|
who gave that right to me.
|
And I'll 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 ones who died
|
who gave that right to me.
|
And, I'll 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!!
