One Nation

There is a joy in knowing
You are a part of something great,
A fellowship of brotherhood
That is found in every state.
We celebrate our differences
Throughout the tender years
That forged one nation under God
With blood and sweat and tears.

We are proud and independent,
A leader of the world.
We cherish every freedom
Where Old Glory is unfurled.
We wave our flags and celebrate
With fireworks and with tears
And know that every child can grow
To live free and have no fears.
