My heart can't help but swell with pride
When I see "Old Glory" raised
Flowing gently in the breeze
Proudly it waves
The "Stars and Stripes Forever"
Are the symbols of our land
I'll take my stand with head held high
And say, "I'm an American"

I love America
Please don't put her down
I love America
Where liberty abounds
Sing a song of freedom
Let it ring from shore to shore
God bless America
Land that I adore

Some may say there's plenty wrong
To this I must agree
But we're living in a land
That is still free
I'm sick and tired of hearing folks
Freely criticize
I'm glad to be an American
And I won't apologize
I love America
Please don't put her down
I love America
Where liberty abounds
Sing a song of freedom
Let it ring from shore to shore
God bless America
Land that I adore

From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, God bless America
Land that I adore, adore
