America

America

Bursting forth, light mightier than the sun
Blessed by God to have this chance
On ships that fly the ocean 
On ships that sail the sky
To find America 
Land of peace, perhaps not complete
But we are folded as one, running with the ages
Just beginning
Rolling with mountains, reaching solid limits in truth
Folding back on humanity from past into the future
Washed in waves of freedom
Finding the soul of everyone for peace 
Reaching like the holy land it is, evolving
To find America forever vigilant and working 
To rest but never sleep
Bursting forth, mightier than the sun
For all to see
