2 America the Beautiful
O 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!
3 Let Freedom Ring
America,
Let freedom ring from shore to shore.
Let music fill the air In song for evermore
with melody of might, in harmony unite
With rhythm bringing all to see the light of liberty In majesty, America we sing
America. Let freedom ring.
2/3 America
My country tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty.
Of thee I sing.
Land where my father’s died.
Land of the pilgrim’s pride.
From ev’ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet Freedom's Song;
Let mortal tongues awake,
Let all that breathe partake.
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
2/3 This Land Is Your Land
This land is your land,
this land is my land.
From California,
to the New York Island.
From the Redwood Forests,
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.
I've roamed and rambled
and I followed my footsteps
to the sparkling sands of
the diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun comes shining and I was strolling and the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling.
as the fog was lifting
a voice was chanting,
This land was made for you and me!
2/3 Thank You, Soldiers
When I lay my head down every night
and go to sleep in peace.
I can stay there knowing all is well
While you're standing on your feet.
Keeping watch
Protecting shore to shore
In the air and oceans too.
Defending freedom at all costs
for the red white and the blue.
Thank you, oh thank you
Men and women brave and strong
To those who served so gallantly
We sing this grateful song.
To the soldiers who have traveled on
to the countries far and near.
In peace and war you paid the price
for the cause you hold so dear.
That we may wake each morning bright
and know that freedom rings.
Because of your great sacrifice
Your country joins to sing.
Thank you, oh thank you
Men and women brave and strong
To those who served so gallantly
We sing this grateful song.
Military Medley
2nd Grade- Marines
From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean:
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine
3rd Grade- Air force
Off we go into the wild blue yonder.
Flying high into the clouds.
Here we go making a sound like thunder.
Flying high, feeling proud.
Down we dive,
spouting our flame from under.
Off with one, mighty fine roar.
We live in fame or go down in flame.
Hey nothing will stop the US Air force!
Proud of Our Veterans
We are proud of our veterans.
Proud of you all.
You are patriots and heroes
who answered the call.
With courage, strength and sacrifice,
you saw our country through.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to you.
We are proud of our Veterans.
Proud of you all.
You are citizens with honor
and faith, standing tall.
Our freedom is assured to us
because you all came through.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to you.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to you.
