## Resource

[verse 1] America! America! United so we stand! We trust the Lord Almighty God, and guided by His hand. Life and faith and freedom are, the blessings from on high. Let us celebrate with gratitude, and let "Ole Glory" fly! [chorus] We are America and we are ever strong! We love our country ever so, and to her we belong! Here we are the thankful ones, unto our God above. For liberty and freedom in, this land we ever love! (this land we greatly love) [verse 2] Our Founding Fathers gave us this, One Nation Under God. They freed us all from tyranny, and its oppressive rod. They penned a Constitution for our life and liberty; and gave us this Republic whereby every one is free! [chorus] We are America and we are ever strong! We love our country ever so, and to her we belong! Here we are the thankful ones, unto our God above. For liberty and freedom in, this land we ever love! (this land we greatly love) [verse 3] America, a lighthouse, a city on a hill; a beacon shining ever bright, its freedoms to instill. The Patriots who fight for all, who stand against the foe; give us our lives of liberty, and how we love them so! Let us remember every day, let us remember this; freedom is not free at all, we cannot be remiss. We are America indeed, we are the people who; are blest of God, who pray for her, under Red, White and Blue! (under the Red, White and Blue) [chorus] We are America and we are ever strong! We love our country ever so, and to her we belong! Here we are the thankful ones, unto our God above. For liberty and freedom in, this land we ever love! (this land we greatly love) Written by Ray Carlton
