Your Country And Mine

Topics: classic

Sing of America, sing of our Country!             Land of two oceans, of palm-tree and pine!                 Firm as the rock of her towering mountains,                 Free as her rivers from Heaven-born fountains,             Unafraid as her eagle, - as true to the line;             Sing of our Country, - your Country and mine!         Sing of America, - self-governed Country!             Dear Land, thou to tyranny never wilt bow;                 Ever with thee the oppressed have had haven;                 While Freedom droops, thy true sons are not craven;             Look! They are fighting to honor thee now,             With Victory and Peace to bejewel thy brow.         Sing of America, - loving humanity!             "Avenge ye the slaughtered!" Heed ye her decree;                 Ye who have reaped of the father's brave sowing,                 High hold your flag when the war winds are blowing!             Safe for all men keep the path of the sea;             Secure in their rights help small Nations to be.         Fight for America, noble America!             Liberty, Justice, and Truth - the divine, -                 Carrying onward, - her lamp proudly burning -                 Craving no empire, intrigue ever spurning,             Over the Earth shall her beacon-light shine!             Fight for our Country, your Country and mine!
