If tomorrow all   The things were gone   I’d worked for all my life   And I had to start again   And begin a brand new life      I’d thank my lucky stars   to be livin here today   ‘Cause the flag   Still stands for freedom   And they can’t take that away      And I’m proud   To be an American   Where at least   I know I’m free   And I won't forget   The ones who died   Who gave that right to me   And I gladly stand up   Next to you   And defend her still today   ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt   I love this land   God bless the USA      From the lakes of Minnesota   To the hills of Tennessee   Across the plains of Texas   From sea to shining sea   From Detroit down to Houston   And New York to L.A.   Well there's pride   In every American heart   And its time we stand and say      That I’m proud   To be an American   Where at least   I know I’m free   And I won't forget   The ones who died   Who gave that right to me   And I gladly stand up   Next to you   And defend her still today   ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt   I love this land   God bless the USA      And I’m proud   To be an American   Where at least   I know I’m free   And I won't forget   The ones who died   Who gave that right to me   And I gladly stand up   Next to you   And defend her still today   ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt   I love this land   God bless the USA
