  
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 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.
