UNITED WE STAND!
THEY SMILE, THEY GRIN, THEY TELL US LIES!
THEY BOMB, THEY KILL, THEY TERRORIZE.
THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND,
THAT COME WHAT MAY, UNITED WE STAND!
WHAT THEY DID, SEEMS BEYOND ALL REASON.
BUT, NOW THEY KNOW, IT'S OPEN SEASON!
DON'T THEY KNOW, WHO WE REALLY ARE.
THE STARS AND STRIPES, EACH SHINING STAR.
YES, IT'S A SYMBOL. THEY THINK IT'S A RAG.
IT UNITES US "ALL". OLD GLORY! OUR FLAG!
WE'VE BEEN TESTED MANY TIMES BEFORE.
ADD THIS TO THE LIST, TO BE TESTED ONCE MORE.
JUST LIKE A FAMILY WE FEUD AND FIGHT.
BUT, AS A FAMILY IT GIVES US THE RIGHT.
OUTSIDERS, BEWARE! DON'T MESS WITH OUR KIN.
YOU WILL LEARN THAT IT IS, THE GREATEST OF SINS.
ALL RACES, ALL RELIGIONS, AND YES ALL CREEDS,
LET US ALL JOIN TOGETHER IN THIS HOUR OF NEED.
REACH OUT TO OTHERS IN ANY WAY YOU CAN.
FLY THE FLAG, SHOW YOUR PRIDE, "ALL" AMERICANS!
SHOUT FROM THE MOUNTAINS, PLAINS, AND THE SEA,
THERS'S ONLY ONE U.S.A., AND IT'S YOU AND IT'S ME.
THE STORMS WON'T BREAK US, ONLY MAKE US SWAY.
SO LET THE WORD GO FORTH, WE ARE HERE TO STAY.
REMEMBER THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES.
OUR BROTHERS, SISTERS, HUSBANDS AND WIVES.
OUR DAUGHTERS AND SONS, THE ONES WE LOVE.
NOW WATCHING OVER US, FROM SOMEWHERE ABOVE.
PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS, LORD MAKE THEM STRONG.
HELP THEM STAY THE COURSE, NO MATTER HOW LONG.
WE ARE BEHIND THEM, EVERY WOMAN AND MAN.
ONE NATION, ONE PEOPLE, UNITED WE STAND.
