• 15 years ago in chorus class, we sang this song. I always choked up. I got choked up at the singing on the National Anthem last week at the baseball game. I’m such an American…..
  
  
  God Bless The USA
  by Lee Greenwood
  
  If tomorrow all the things were gone
  I’d worked for all my life,
  And I had to start again
  with just my children and my wife,
  I’d thank my lucky stars
  to be living here today,
  ‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom
  and they can’t take that away.
  
  I’m proud to be an American
  where at least I know I’m free,
  And I won’t forget the men who died
  who gave that right to me,
  And I gladly stand up next to you
  and defend her still today,
  ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
  God Bless the U.S.A.
  
  From the lakes of Minnesota
  to the hills of Tennessee,
  Across the plains of Texas
  from sea to shining sea.
  From Detroit down to Houston
  and New York to L.A.,
  There’s pride in every American heart
  and it’s time we stand and say:
  
  I’m proud to be an American
  where at least I know I’m free,
  And I won’t forget the men who died
  who gave that right to me,
  And I gladly stand up next to you
  and defend her still today,
  ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
  God Bless the U.S.A.
