God Bless America

God Bless America Through the rolling hills of Colorado To the sounds of Louisiana & Hampton Beach I tip my hat to every soldier that may seem so out of reach Through a lone portal in a storm there's room for more Lest I implore another way an opened door It's the home of the free and land of the brave This land has enough for people to crave Shattered dreams left helpless by evil schemes When you come to this land of free you will soon agree With mighty rolling hills & crimsome tide We welcome new people in yet they just run away & hide Lands where my fathers died a soft reply A chosen vessel displayed in blazing portals enflamed Let me be the first to explain it's in the tender touch Of the lone soldier selling poppies at the local store It's written on the many faces never filled with social disgraces The setting of the sun to the fullest moon at night There sets ablaze a flag that many honor & celebrate It's in the heart of a lost stranger somewhere searching in the night The tide goes out to watch on with it's fullest of light Old glory stands for the red, white & blue Let's shine the light that's burning bright for everyone to see
