On America

The greatest country, for sure, bar none

But let’s think again, just for fun

Mighty rivers bless our land

From mountain tops to ocean sand

Majestic mountains from south to north

With natural resources gushing forth

Nature’s parks of every ilk

Western plains as smooth as silk

Massive forests with singing birds

Fertile grasslands with roaming herds

Bountiful lakes from shore to shore

Natural beauty and much more

Yes, our universities are the best

Far above all the rest

Loving people who try to feed

Anyone, anywhere who is in need

Our constitution, not second to any

Secured with blood spilled by many

God has consecrated this wonderful nation

Clearly the finest in all creation

Yes, we are blessed, even on weather

But is it possible we can be better?

Have we forgotten much of our past?

In several fields we rank near last.

Primary education, and health care too

Very costly and serving too few

Too much greed and too little love

Too little thought of the Man above

Lofty dreams to pursue our ends

But we still need allies, we still need friends

We are one, sister and brother

Our mission must be to help one another

And aid the oppressed and to all be kind

But honor our values at the same time

Yes, we can be better and that we must

To live our creed “in God we trust”

To grow America, that is our call

Let’s work together to benefit all
