Why am I proud to be an American?
Because brave men for me have died.
When evil tried to crush the good,
They stood to turn the tide.
Why am I proud to be an American?
Because my land still stands free.
I can worship without fear,
I can serve God openly.
Why am I proud to be an American?
Because hard work still brings success.
People come from all around,
They can pursue excellence.
Why am I proud to be an American?
Because justice cannot be erased,
One despot cannot rule with fear,
The Constitution still has its place.
Why am I proud to be an American?
Because my flag flies free.
The Stars and Stripes bought by blood,
Still waves with Strength and Liberty.
Why am I proud to be an American?
Because Hope yet has a voice.
When evil tries to crush man’s spirit,
Freedom offers souls a choice.
