Stars And Stripes

Across the mountains and the shores To the deserts and the plains America's spirit will forever soar From California to Maine America's strong, that much is known From the Statue of Liberty and Niagara Falls To Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone And southwest canyons with the rocky walls This country is a place for everyone It doesn't really matter where you come from We all celebrate with lots of different faces We're all united, no matter what your race is Stars and stripes forever wave A nation of people strong and brave So raise your voices, let freedom take flight This is America, shining ever so bright Across the peaks and the beach sands To the dust bowls and the grasslands From Florida to Washington, we're shining through Don't forget Alaska and Hawaii, too America's power comes from you and me And everyone else from sea to sea From the Gateway Arch to the Florida Keys To the Golden Gate Bridge, and to the Redwood trees Though sometimes it seems like it's a bumpy ride Our dreams of the future are a source of pride Stars and stripes forever wave A nation of peoples strong and brave So raise your voices, let freedom take flight This is America, shining ever so bright Stars and stripes continue to wave All of the people are strong and brave Raise your fists up as freedom takes flight This is America, shining throughout the night
