America is a place of love , 

a gift given from the lord above .

a place for chances and for life, 

being successful comes from strife.

times will be hard , times will be trying

jobs are waiting , officials are hiring .

seek your freedoms and your heart, 

every American has a part.

patriotism is something all should hold ,

americans are truly bold .

always answering the call of liberty ,

never running from our enemies.

freedom will be spread ,

by the living and the dead .

americans are the leaders and the free , 

it is my country 'tis of thee.
