I met someone today who's lost
That patriotic fire
That burns so deeply in our breast,
Which all should now acquire.
It made my heart unhappy
To think that one so free
Could be unpatriotic
About our liberty.
No nation in the whole wide world
Can boast so fine a deeds
That we are doing daily,
To fill the world's needs.
America has won 1st place
As far as I can tell,
In sharing all the treasures,
And things we love so well.
Our nation's healed the losers
In war torn countries, too,
And helped build up democracy
That no one else would do.
America, America,
I love to hear your name,
Please light your patriotic fires
In all who love your flame,
And warm the hearts that wonder,
And doubt your worthiness,
That all may share your noble cause,
And every nation bless. |
