The Star-Spangled Banner

"O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so galantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Crafting each lyric with tender love and care, Donny and Michelle Sawyer have constructed a ballad that encases some of the feeling after 9/11 in song.  "Old Glory (Signs of Hope)" is a must-download for all of you music buffs and patriotic Americans out there.
God Bless America

God bless America, Land that I love
Stand besides her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above
From the mountains through the prairies
To the oceans, white with foam-
God bless America!  My home sweet home.
God Bless America!  My home sweet home.
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!
Grand Ole Flag

You're a grand old flag
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace you may wave
You're the emblem of
The land I love
The home of the free and the brave
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue
Where there's never a boast or a brag
Should auld aquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag!
Stars and Stripes Forever

Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers  with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever
