America, the Promised Land
America, the promised land,
Home of the free, the brave.
A land of heroes, honest men,
of villains and of knaves.
But we are willing to accept
this broad diversity,
Allowing bad and good to blend.
This is democracy.
From settlers landing on our soil
came founders of our nation.
And those who planned our laws were all
products of immigration.
These men were loyal patriots,
their goals were just and wise.
Their love of country, faith in God,
shone clearly in their eyes.
The seeds of justice, wisdom, faith
they planted long ago.
And from these seeds our people saw
the fruits of freedom grow .
Our nation’s character evolved
to guide us through our wars.
in which we were victorious,
but left with ugly scars.
New evil forces threaten us,
there is no compromise.
And they will not be satisfied
until this nation dies.
There is no common battlefield
confined in space to fight
The terror cells are spread worldwide
To kill, their holy right.
Forces bred by greed and hate
Are active now within
the borders of our country, and
they don’t want us to win.
Never in our nation’s life,
has been such need for unity,
to stand as one with moral strength.
For cowards, no impunity
