Lyrics:


U.S.A.
THEY SAILED ACROSS AN OCEAN BLUE
BELIEVING GOD WAS LEADING THEM TO EDEN
WALKED AWAY FROM ALL THEY KNEW
THEIR ONLY GUARANTEE THE HOPE OF FREEDOM
FROM THE SEEDS THEY PLANTED A NEW IDEA WOULD GROW
THAT TURNED A WORLD UPSIDE DOWN, A DREAM INTO A HOME
CHORUS:
YOU STILL STAND FOR FREEDOM AND FAITH
YOU STILL FAN THE FLAME IN OUR HEARTS
FOREVER MAY YOUR BANNER YET WA VE
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO YOU, U.S.A
YOU’VE SEEN YOUR SHARE OF TOILS AND SNARES
AND FIELDS SOAKED WITH BLOOD OUR BROTHERS SHED
WHEN TIMES TURN CRUEL AND LIFE UNFAIR
WE FALL BACK ON THE WORDS YOUR FOUNDERS SAID
IN THE EYES OF OUR CREATOR WE ARE ALL THE SAME
GOD GIVE US THE COURAGE TO LIVE UP TO YOUR NAME
CHORUS:
YOU STILL STAND FOR FREEDOM AND FAITH
YOU STILL FAN THE FLAME IN OUR HEARTS
FOREVER MAY YOUR BANNER YET WA VE
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO YOU, U.S.A
CHORUS:
YOU STILL STAND FOR FREEDOM AND FAITH
YOU STILL FAN THE FLAME IN OUR HEARTS
FOREVER MAY YOUR BANNER YET WA VE
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO YOU, U.S.A
U.S.A.
