I’M THANKFUL FOR AMERICA

I’ll proudly wave my flag today,
To show I love the U.S.A.

And from my grateful heart I’ll raise
A song of thankfulness and praise,

For living in a land that’s free,
And for the gift of liberty.

I’m thankful for our troops who fight
So we can safely sleep at night.

They bravely face the enemy
Of freedom, and of liberty. 

I’d like to hold them in my arms,
Protecting them from wars and harms.

And so I’ll pray that strife will cease,
And once again we’ll live in peace.
