MY COUNTRY MEDLEY

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island.
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway.
I saw below me that golden valley.
This land was made for you and me.

This land is your land, this land is my land.
From California to the New York Island.
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.
This land was made for you and me!

Your land and my land is the best land of all.
Sweet land of freedom for the great and the small
So let's stand beside her if it's the last thing we do.
Come one, come all and pledge allegiance
To our own red, white, and blue!

This is my country, land of my birth.
This is my country, grandest on earth.
I pledge thee my allegiance, America, the bold
For this is my country, to have and to hold.

This is my country, land of my choice
This is my country, hear my proud voice
I pledge thee my allegiance, America, the bold
For this is my country, to have and to hold!

AMERICAN HEROES

Words- Sam Francis, Gary Francis
Music- Gaye Gibbs

Someone cries out for help...
And you answer the call.
A courageous hero.
You've given your all.
To save someone's life
You put yourself in "harms way"
And that is the task..
That you do every day!

Chorus
American heroes...you will always be
Forever remembered...in our history.
American heroes...you'll never die in vain.
You live in our hearts...and we honor your name!

Your task is not easy
And the risk...is so high.
With courage you rescue...
And are willing to die.
To save someone else
You will search high and low
Risk your own life...
For those you don't know!

Chorus
American heroes...you will always be
Forever remembered...in our history.
American heroes...you'll never die in vain.
You'll live in our hearts...and we honor your name!

FIGHTING FEAR WITH FRIENDSHIP

Children of America
There's a way to conquer fear.
It's time that we all get along
So hate will disappear.
There's one thing that we can do
And we should start today.
We'll fight fear with friendship
There is no better way.

CHORUS
Fighting fear with friendship
It is our Nation's call
Our President has asked the "kids"
To be a friend to all!
Fighting fear with friendship
There's letters we can send.
Tell the "kids" throughout the world
We want to be their friend!

Children of America
We love our liberty.
We wish that kids throughout the world
Also could be free.
If only they could feel our hearts
They would know how much we care.
We all want peace on earth
For children everywhere!

CHORUS

(Bridge)
Regardless of our color or nationality,
We should respect our differences
And friends we all should be.

CHORUS

(Tag) Let's tell the kids throughout the world
We want to be your friend.

OUR LADY WEEPS

Words & Music- Sam Francis, Gary Francis

In New York Harbor she proudly stands
Our Lady Liberty
She's a refuge for the immigrants who
Come here to be free.
She's a beacon to this troubled world
Is there for all to see.
She stands for dreams to be fulfilled.
The light of liberty!

May her flame stay burning bright
A ray of hope, a guiding light
To everyone who would be free..
She shines for you ...and shines for me!

Our "Lady Liberty" felt the pain...
The terror in the sky.
Saw evil men destroy the dreams
Of those who were to die.
Now our "Lady" weeps...yet stronger still
This nation now will be.
For we will heal together...and
Defend our liberty!

May the world join hand in hand.
Mend broken hearts throughout the land.
They can't destroy democracy.
This is the homeland of the free!

May her flame stay burning bright
A ray of hope...a guiding light
To everyone who would be free
She shines for you...and shines for me!
May the world join hand in hand
Mend broken hearts throughout the land.
Let's say a prayer to keep us free.
God bless this land of liberty!

THE SKYLINE OF NEW YORK

The skyline of New York
Is not the same today.
The Twin Towers that stood so tall
Now are gone away.

To the families of the victims
We join as one and pray
For comfort that will touch each heart
Help the pain to go away.

CHORUS
The people of America
We feel this tragedy.
Invaders of our homeland
Can't destroy our liberty!
The people of America
Will forever be
Much more determined now
To keep this country free.

All the rescue workers
They were all so brave.
While they searched for those inside
Their own lives they gave.

America will heal its wounds
We'll find a better way.
Together we will be the light
For a brighter day

CHORUS

Out there in the harbor
Is "Lady Liberty"
She represents a peaceful land
And our Democracy!

CHORUS

(Tag)
Much more determined now
To keep this country free

THEY BROKE OUR HEARTS...BUT NOT OUR SPIRIT

Our country was invaded
There's a sadness in the air.
But freedom's light is shining bright
You can see it everywhere.
We are one nation under God....
Where justice is for all.
Now is the time, America
To heed our country's call.

CHORUS
They Broke our hearts....
But not our spirit
They can't destroy democracy!
We're stronger now...
And stand united.
We will defend our liberty.

All of us still feel the pain
For those who had to die.
Innocent people lost their lives
And we ask the question, "why?"
For all we want is peace on earth
Where everyone is free...
To live our lives, fulfill our dreams
And choose our destiny!

CHORUS

(BRIDGE)
We pledge allegiance to our flag
May she forever wave...
All across America...
The homeland of the brave!

CHORUS

(TAG)
They broke our hearts
But not our spirit
We will defend our liberty

PATRIOTIC MEDLEY

My Country! Tis of thee (Words- Samuel F. Smith Music- Henry Carey)
God Bless America (Words & Music- Irving Berlin)
America The Beautiful (Words- Katherine Lee Bates Music- Samuel A. Ward)
God Bless The USA (Words & Music- Lee Greenwood)

My Country! Tis of thee... Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrim's pride
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring!

While the storm clouds gather, far across the sea,
Let us pledge allegiance to a land that's free
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

God Bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam,
God Bless America... my home sweet home
God Bless America... my home sweet home!

Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain.
America, America! God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me.
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today.
ÔCause there is no doubt I love this land.
God bless the USA.
God bless the USA!

I LOVE AMERICA

I love to see a baby
A mothers tender care.
The future of America
She is holding there.
I love to see small children
With hands upon their heart.
They pledge allegiance to our flag
Before their lessons start.

I love to see "Old Glory" in the breeze
Stars and stripes
Shining bright
It tells the world we're free.

CHORUS
I love America!
Long live this land of liberty.
I love America!
This is the place I want to be.
I love this land from Ôsea to shining sea'
I love America
The homeland of the free

I love to see the farmlands
And smell the new mown hay.
A farmer on a tractor.
Working hard each day.
I love to see a church house
Where people go to pray.
Many seeking guidance
To live from day to day.

Many different cultures I can see...
They all came to this land
They wanted to be free!

I love America!
Long live this land of liberty.
I love America!
This is the place I want to be.
I love this land from Ôsea to shining sea'
I love America
The homeland of the free!

(Bridge)
We stand united all as one
Defending our liberty
And honor those who fight to keep us safe from harm
Protecting our right to be free.

I love America!
Long live this land of liberty.
I love America!
This is the place I want to be.
I love this land from Ôsea to shining sea'
I love America
I love America
I love America
The homeland of the free
