The sun comes up and shines like gold across the ocean waves A nation blessed with all the best as we begin our day We know the price of freedom, we see it every day We'll pay the debt, 'cause you can bet, we love the U.S.A. This is our homeland, this is America We won't give up, we won't give in 'Cause this is America We trust in God, 'cause this is America Let's take a stand, we love this land This is America The enemy has hurt us, violence knocked us to the ground An emptiness surrounds us, pain of loss is all around This threat to our freedom has renewed our will to fight Our battle cry is victory, we know we'll do what's right
