Oh America
OH AMERICA
OH AMERICA!! The land of the brave.
The land where innocent people found a sad firery grave.
OH AMERICA!! Is this really war? How did it find its way to cross our once peaceful shore?
Without a warning or a single clue...
Black thick skies replaced our sky of blue.
OH AMERICA!! You stand for freedom-for one and for all.
So why-one by one do our great structures fall?
Do you hear our screams of pain and fear?
Or do they simply fall sadly upon deaf ear?
OH AMERICA!! Your stars, your stripes your red white and blue.
Just won't be destroyed. We'll all stand by you.
United we stand divided we fall.
OH AMERICA!! A great home to us all.
Stand up for what's right!
Stand up for what's ours!
Stand up with a fight!
Be proud of your scars!
OH AMERICA!! The land of brave.
Let the world know we will not be enslaved.
We won't let our flag feel fire, nor our land host death!
We stand strong and we stand united!
WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
We all shall unite and conquer and rise above the rest.
