Glory
This sacred land is an oasis on Earth
It’s accepting of all despite background or birth
All our citizens are equal and this is our pride
So no one should expect to get a free ride
The land of the free and the home of the brave
We aren’t docile sheep and submissive slaves
We protect one another in spite of the cost
This connection ensures that our creed isn’t lost
We are happy to live in the land of the free
And so proudly we give what is necessary
Because we have each other no task is too tough
No pain lasts forever and no peace long enough
Together we will stand even stronger than steel
Divided we may crumble but we never kneel
