Another July fourth has come our way,
But not so joyous as those past I must say!
Many traitors want to destroy our great land,
No longer with the Constitution do they stand.
Oh Father, take pity on America once more,
And pour out your grace from shore to shore!!
Today when I look over what has been done,
And consider all the great battles once we won,
I am filled with shame for where we are,
In truth you know, we have fallen oh so far!
Oh Father, take pity on America once more,
And pour out your grace from shore to shore!!
I served our nation proudly to keep her great,
And now we see the liberals making us second rate!
Breaks my heart and brings tears to see this day,
To consider all our freedoms that are passing away.
Oh Father, take pity on America once more,
And pour out your grace from shore to shore!!
A call to arms must ring out across this land,
“Rise up Patriots, true Americans make a stand!”
If we do not answer the call, who else will?
The founding father's left big shoes to fill!
Oh Father, take pity on America once more,
And pour out your grace from shore to shore!!
“America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!”
