God Bless America --a Tribute
You were a land where freedom reigned
From east to west, across great plains.
From north to south, each little stream
Made good the promise of your dreams.
But evil stole your heart's desire
And scorched your soul with Hell's own fire.
Now your children choke with tears.
For many, freedom was just a few short years.
But the eagle shall rise and soar again,
And your flag will fly high o'er freedom's domain
Until once more the brave and free
Will chart the course of your destiny.
