LYRICS
The sun comes up and shines like gold
across the ocean waves A nation blessed with all the best
as we begin our day We know the price of freedom, we see
it every day We'll pay the debt, 'cause you can bet, we
love the U.S.A.
This is our homeland, this is America
We won't give up, we won't give in 'Cause this is America
We trust in God, 'cause this is America Let's take a
stand, we love this land This is America
The enemy
has hurt us, violence knocked us to the ground An
emptiness surrounds us, pain of loss is all around This
threat to our freedom has renewed our will to fight Our
battle cry is victory, we know we'll do what's right
Joe Bonsall's
heartfelt comments about The Oak Ridge Boys' Grammy
nominated inspiring, patriotic album,
Colors...
"In 2003, The Oak Ridge Boys recorded a
very special album project for the Spring Hill Music Group.
Colors has become one of our most popular projects in the
last decade. We recorded the CD to honor America and to pay
tribute to those who have defended (and now defend) the
freedoms of our great country. I believe we accomplished
that goal with songs like An American Family, Colors,
American Beauty, The Home Stretch, and This Is America."
This Is America
