American Splendor
AMERICAN SPLENDOR
Arizona has the Painted Desert
The Grand Canyon is there as well
Montana and Wyoming house Yellowstone
With beauty that weaves a spell
Wyoming hosts the Grand Tetons
Montana the Big Blue Sky
The splendor of God's Creation
Is nothing to deny
There's Pike's Peak in Colorado
We have the Appalachians and Great Smokies too
And the Black Hills of South Dakota
These all offer a breathtaking view
There are rivers like the Mississippi
And sights like Niagara Falls
Giant trees in California
That tower 300 feet tall
There's a Great Salt Lake in Utah
There's Washington's Puget Sound
There are five Great Lakes of fresh water
Where the wonders of nature abound
As we travel the great State of Georgia
We see mountains with cold, clear streams
And wildlife of every description
Often found only in dreams
So when you wake up every morning
And each night before taking your rest
Thank God for His marvelous Creation
America's Splendor is blessed
