The eagle of America's freedom above the mountain fly's serene
America in all its splendor
The purple mountains and the streams

A nation numbed by horror
United in its grief
The feelings and emotions in every American runs so deep

Tomorrow brings a new day
A day that's filled with hope
With the dawn of a new tomorrow
We'll sculpt our nation's growth

It won't happen in an hour
It won't happen in a day
With strength and unity
We must all begin to pray

Our flag is a symbol of freedom and pain
Our soldiers have fought and died for our gain
Majestic it waves, over land and sea
The red, white and blue, our legacy

With every day that passes
Our strength will multiply
You'll feel a return to yourself from deep down inside
Replenished like a river
After a long hard rain
We'll feel the return to innocence
After the dauntless pain

God Bless America
