The United States of America


The United States of America
What does your future hold?
The United States of America
Land, that I love
Two hundred years have come and gone
Since this land was born
Many men and women lived and died
To make this land their home

How do you feel about America?
Will we rise or will we fall?
I know how I feel about America
Let your freedom shine
Like a beacon light upon the world
Shining on each land
A person touched, a smile and on they go
Gone with courage and new hope

There’s no place like America
Why?  Can you tell me why?
What do we need to know about America?
To keep, the land we have
I see that change is on the new horizon
Maybe right, maybe wrong
Simple things, like freedom could be lost
Without a wisdom rare

The United States of America
What does your future hold?
The United States of America
Land, that I love
When we were young
There was so much to change
Everything seemed so wrong
Now I’m a man, I need to raise my children
Where will we go now?
Tell me, where will we go now?
Tell me, where will we go now?
