No medals pinned upon your chest
No ticker tape parades.
No extra stripe upon your arm
For the sacrifice you made.
No headlines in the paper
No personal cover story
Just you alone with honor
Holding on to your old glory.
This is your face, America
The home of your free and your brave
Tirelessly, endlessly working on
So much you still must save.
Just another unsung hero
In this time of hurt and pain
Courageously giving all you had
Never thinking of your gain.
With hope, and faith and dignity
Shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand
You band yourselves together
To heal your beloved land.
This is your face, America
With your justice and liberty,
United proudly standing
From sea to shining sea.
Regardless of how high the cost
In the face of devastation
You lift your voice together
Proud of your mighty nation!
All across this country
Day by day, and one by one
You battle on with courage
From sun to setting sun.
Yes... This is your face, America
Dressed in red and white and blue
Hold high your torch of freedom
America... God bless you!
