Lyrics
Our forefathers before us,
came to this mighty land,
pursuing peace and liberty,
and guided by God's Hand.
This land of faith and courage
was born of patriot dreams,
Honor abounds and valor's found,
in this Land of Liberty!
Chorus:
America, so proud to be,
land of the brave and free!
A nation founded under God,
Great Land of Liberty!
A nation joined together,
and bound in Freedom's cause,
unites as one when Darkness comes,
and strikes America.
No evil can destroy her,
nor dim sweet freedom's light,
America, the beacon of
the Lord's eternal Light!
(Chorus)
And heroes rise before us,
when beckoned to the call,
They pay the price with sacrifice,
their courage we extol!
In New York City's harbor,
a Lady still stands tall,
She lights the way for all who come,
to answer Freedom's call!
(Chorus)
