God Bless America

By: Noah Eaton

7/2/01


God Bless America
One nation under God
Interwoven in flying colors
Which our fathers have sought


Our founding fathers fought in war
After the Declaration Of Independence was signed
1776 was that golden year
Promising to free the natives from strife


Proclaiming the notion that all men are created equal
Endowed by life, liberty, and the pursuit for happiness
George Washington crossing the Delaware with this endeavor
Winning independence in 1782 in Yorktown, this land reigning with bliss


Thirteen colored stripes adorn this graceful banner
Flooding with stars from sea to shining sea
Carried by our bald eagle, reminding us how close He is
The Holy Spirit here for all who believe


Expanding our horizons, in the Era Of Good Feelings
New friendships are made, new territories to explore
Elizabeth Cady Stanton holds true the belief of equality
Leading women to fight for their rights, winning a happy future in store


God’s word is spoken to those forced in slavery too
Abraham Lincoln was our man of all seasons, our dearest emancipator
Civil war later winning freedom for all our people
Gods words written in stone on the thirteenth amendment, bringing our nation together


Our Lord reconstructs our country, reuniting the Union and The Confederate
Spreading our colors to the Pacific
Recognizing all of our brothers who have fought for our freedom
Their hearts the many stars that decorate our flag, our heroes never forgotten


I am blessed to be a true American
To be free and to be heard
Our trumpets will never fade as we continue to strive
Helping the world become a happy place, making a colorful effort


God Bless America

God Bless Us All

Our land of the free

Commencing justice for all…
