AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE FREE
LADY LIBERTY, STANDING SO TALL
WITH HER TORCH LIT UP, AND LEADING OUR WAY
OUR FLAG FLYING HIGH AND PROUD
FROM PEOPLE OF ALL PLACES TO SEE

OUR MEN AND WOMEN, SO PROUD AND BRAVE
PROTECTING YOUR COUNTRY AND MINE
OF THE EVIL'S OF THE WORLD...
FROM MY PEOPLE AND YOURS

THE MASTERMINDS OF THE WORLD
OUR PRESIDENT,YOUR KINGS AND QUEENS
ALL PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST OR WEST

FIGHTING FOR WHAT'S OURS AND YOURS
THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AND ALL THAT WE PREACH
LET'S PRAY FOR PEACE...
AND ALL OUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS
WHO HAVE FOUGHT IN THE WARS, TO THE VERY END

WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY, JUST LIKE YOU DO YOURS
AND WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG...
OUR HEARTS, POURS OUT TO ALL MANKIND
TO GIVE A HELPING HAND

AMERICA, SO BEAUTIFUL, SPACIOUS, AND GRAND
I REALLY DO LOVE YOU, AND ALL THAT LAND
AND~ IF ONE FEELS FAULTS, AGAINST YOU AND ME
THEY CAN LEAVE AMERICA...
OUR LAND OF THE FREE!
