American

I’m still an American, what about you?
                     The blood in my heart is Red, White and Blue.
                    I won’t disown my country, not for one election.
               I will always show support and give her my protection.

                     I’m still an American, my country matters to me.
              I won’t surrender my freedom; those colors are what I see.
                        Our Flag still waves in every city and town.
                  I’ll never disrespect her, by turning the union down.

                      I’m still an American, my country tis of thee.
                      I’m proud to live in this sweet land of Liberty.
                 This is where our Mothers and our Fathers have died.
                      I will forever fly my flag and do so with pride!

                             We are still one nation under God.
                    Our blood soaks this ground on which we trod.
                      My God and my country will see me through.
                           I’m still an American, what about you?

People should be loyal to their country no matter where it is. Patriotism should be world wide. Thanks for the visit my friend. The coffee is always on.
