We Are the Usa
Patriots, heroes, mothers, fathers, sinners, saviors and saints, undivided.
Our country is made up of people from everywhere else in the world.
USA stands strong; we are together in this no matter what, citizens united.
I feel a pride that bursts the buttons off my coat when our flag is unfurled.
Imagine every single one of us has a loved one who has been in the service.
My patriotic daughter served four years in Air Force, three in the reserve.
Joined during the Gulf War. I was proud, but also a teensy bit nervous.
An American loves America from California to New York without any swerve.
When we sing America the Beautiful it is followed by My Country Tis of Thee.
Once started, we cannot do anything but belt out our feelings about this land.
Flag, baseball, apple pie, The White House,The Great Lakes. Are you with me?
Feel your memories and excitement mount as these sites are spanned...
Sure, some may make fun of certain states, calling them names. Making fun.
If you disparage the USA, you had better do it in another country friend.
Better not do it in front of me, for we are together, united, under the gun.
We are United States of America, standing together in this, united to the end.
