American Patriotism

It isn't enough to be
An American who is free,
To choose the kind of life we want to live,
There are many things to do
For our Red, White and Blue,
There are many things each citizen can give.

There's work which must be done
For daughter and for son,
For parents, and for friends and neighbors, too,
Defending freedom's cause,
Protecting righteous laws,
And keeping independence bright and true.

No cause is there more just,
In God put all our trust,
Let every free American start today,
To work with all our might,
Defending truth and right,
And asking God to open up the way

To keep our country free
For folks like you and me,
To live and work and worship as they please,
In a land that's free from fear,
In a land where patriots cheer,
When they see "Old Glory" truly paint the breeze.

May God protect this land
With His almighty hand,
And may He strengthen us against the foe,
That we may right the wrongs,
And sing our nation's songs,
And let American patriotism show.
