We stand for the red, white, and blue This is our free land, and we love you. The red for the blood that was shed The blue for our thoughts that we dread. The white, most important of all These stripes that won’t let us fall. It signifies one perfect thing No surrender, our nation will sing. Oh beautiful, for spacious skies As tears pour down our red eyes For amber waves of grain Our faith in God does remain. For purple mountain majesties We’ll defend against our enemies Our world will join with one hand Together for our lives we stand. Death was wrought on our soil Now all of our hero’s must toil To save the ones that we love And to grieve the ones sent above. These cowards who stole all this life Will burn in their fiery strife And their planners will pay their due Armageddon is coming for you. America will stand strong and proud We will not be forced to the ground We’ll go on together, you’ll see ‘Cause God shed his grace onto thee. America, we’ve crowned our good We’ve done it through brotherhood From mountain to mountain we’re free From our vast sea, to shining sea.
