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.
And I'm proud to be an American
where as least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died, who
gave that right to me.
And I'd 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 LA,
Well, there's pride in every
American heart,
and it's time to 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'd 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.
