My Home Sweet Home

As we pledge our allegiance to the flag Together in gratitude, let us join in prayer, For the millions before us who gave their lives Defending our privilege to breathe Liberty’s air. Oh say can you see the blessings we share ‘Neath purple mountains and spacious skies? For our amber waves of grain grow in soil tinted red By the blood of Patriots who laid down their lives. My country, ‘tis of thee my heart sings And upon whom God has shed His Grace. My country, ‘tis to thee I pray you will always Sing as one voice for our future children’s sake. You’re a grand old flag; you’re our Star Spangled Banner And I salute the virtues o’er which you are wavin’. You fly proudly as a Beacon of Hope and assurance For the tired and weak who flee to you for safe haven. If tomorrow all the things were gone For which we’ve toiled for over 200 years, May we one day look into the face of our God With no regrets for our efforts, blood, sweat and tears. And, when in the course of human events It becomes necessary to defend Liberty and Justice for all. May we hold strong as brothers and sisters under one Father Or together, we will most certainly fall. God bless our leaders both here and abroad May their souls be confirmed in self-control. And God Bless us all with the wisdom to support the defense Of Freedom and Democracy for all. Our Father who art in Heaven, I’d like to teach the world to sing, A song that knows no language barriers A song of love and peace and harmony. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white foam, Happy Birthday, dear America, You are my home, sweet home.
