How We Build Our Country

The land we stand on is soiled with blood for freedom
With many hands that build our roads and wave our flags
Still we stand as one nation not divided
We hope for peace and happiness
Our country stands for more than just our own
We are the outstanding people that cannot be sold or bought
Our strength is with all as all we stand we are strong
Without the pain and struggles within we cannot grow
We fight for all and we do as a country
We wave our flag to show the world that we are one
Because we love life and freedom for all
Not just our own country it is our allies Will that help
We show compassion to those in need even when ours are not met
Because we are made of all other countries
An immigrants that are brave to say
We are a nation full of hope and great pride that we have achieved
We conquer fear by fear-it’s self but not to lead a stray
Our focus as a nation and a country of other countries
We hope for peace and happiness for all
For our children’s children to keep
