Story Behind The Song

A radio station in Harrisburg PA was looking for songs to play for a rally on the capitol steps to support the troops coming home from the middle east. I wrote this song to support our nation as a whole. They played it four times that day and when it got to the chant at the end the military guys would shout it out.

Song Description

A patriotic song about how this nation started and how precious our freedoms are. Even to the point of fighting for them!

Lyrics

We Are The USA

It started a long time ago with thirteen colonies
Struggling to be on their own, yearning to be free
From that small beginning a great nation came to be
Known all around the world, "The Land of Opportunity"

Chorus:
We are the USA, land of the free
Home of the proud, the brave, let freedom ring
Lift up the flag on high all across this land
We are the USA and we're proud to be Americans

You have the right to speak out without fearing for your life
You have the right to worship wherever you like
No other country can compare with what we have right here
Some people try to put her down, but I'll stand up and cheer

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:
Liberty and freedom, helping our fellow man
That's what makes this country great, united we'll stand....

Turn Around:

You have the right to be safe in your possessions and yourself
You have the right to bear arms or keep them on the shelf
The Constitution guarantees all these rights to us
That we'll have to fight to keep when the goin' gets tough

Repeat Chorus:

Tag:
We are the USA. we are the USA.............
Chant:
USA, USA, USA!
