Battle Hymn of the Republic
Julia Ward Howe

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me:
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

[Eagles2003]

I have that album, and a "new" 1980's vintage turntable that's never spun. I should MP3 it.

[gracex7]

You sir, are correct. (I couldn't remember all the words to that verse).

By the by, one line I've always liked is from 'Rock N Roll Never Forgets'...."All Chuck's children, are out there playin' his licks.."

HE is the real king of rock n roll!

[Jay D. Dyson]

This is one that a niece of mine played for me once (years ago). It just stuck with me for some reason:

"America"
by Prince

Aristocrats on a mountain climb,
Making money, losing time.
Communism is just a word,
But if the government turn over
It'll be the only word that's heard.

America, America
God shed His grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free

Little sister making minimum wage
Living in a 1-room jungle monkey cage.
Can't get over, she's almost dead.
She may not be in the black,
But she's happy she ain't in the red.

America, America
God shed His grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free

Freedom...Love...Joy...Peace

Jimmy Nothing never went to school.
They made him pledge allegiance,
He said it wasn't cool.
Nothing made Jimmy proud.
Now Jimmy lives on a mushroom cloud.

America, America
God shed His grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free

[Jay D. Dyson]

"Living in America"
by James Brown

Yeah, uh! Get up, now! Ow! Knock out this!

Super highways, coast to coast,
easy to get anywhere
On the transcontinental overload,
just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel

When there's no destination - that's too far
And somewhere on the way,
you might find out who you are

Chorus:
Living in America - eye to eye, station to station
Living in America - hand to hand, across the nation
Living in America - got to have a celebration

Rock my soul

Smokestack, fatback,
many miles of railroad track
All night radio, keep on runnin'
through your rock 'n' roll soul
All night diners keep you awake,
hey, on black coffee and a hard roll

You might have to walk the fine line,
you might take the hard line
But everybody's working overtime

(chorus)

I live in America, help me out,
but I live in America,
wait a minute

You might not be looking for the promised land,
but you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like New Orleans (New Orleans),
Detroit City (Detroit City), Dallas (Dallas)
Pittsburg P.A. (Pittsburg P.A.),
New York City (New York City)
Kansas City (Kansas City),
Atlanta (Atlanta), Chicago and L.A.

Living in America - hit me
Living in America - yeah,
I walk in and out
Living in America

I live in America - state lines,
gonna make the prime, that
I live in America - hey,
I know what it means, I

Living in America - Eddie Murphy, eat your heart out
Living in America - hit me, I said now, eye to eye,
station to station
Living in America - so nice, with your bare self
Living in America - I feel good!

Being A Celebrity...by Brad Paisely.

Someday I'm gonna be famous, Do I have talent, well, no. These days you don't really need it, Thanks to reality shows

Can't Wait to date a supermodel, Can't Wait to sue my dad. Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari On my way to rehab....

Chorus- Cause when you're a Celebrity It's adios reality You' can act just like a fool People think you're cool Just cause your on TV. I can throw major fits When my latte isn't just how I like it They say I've gone insane, I'll blame it on the fame, And the pressures that it goes with Being a Celebrity uh huh

I get to cry to Barbara Walters, When Things don't go my way. I'll get community service No matter which law I break

I'll make the supermarket tabloids, They'll write some awful stuff But the more they run my name down, THE MORE MY PRICE GOES UP!

Chorus- Cause when you're a Celebrity, It's adios reality. No matter what you do, People think you're cool, Just cause you're on TV. I can fall in and out of love, Have marriages that barely last a month. When they go down the drain I'll blame it on fame And say it's just so tough. Being a Celebrity

So let's hitch up the wagons and head out west To the land of fun in the sun We'll be real world bachelors Jackass Millionaires Hey, Hey, Hollywood Here we come!

Chorus- Yeah, When you're a Celebrity It's adios reality No matter what you do, People think you're cool, Just cause you're on t.v. ...Being a Celebrity ...Yeah Celebrity! ...uh-huh "Where's my coffee?"

Only In America Lyrics
Brooks & Dunn
Only In America
Sun coming’ up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Staring out at the faces in a rear view mirror
Lookin’ at the promise of the Promised Land

One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president

Only in America
Dreamin' in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to

We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Sun goin' down on an LA freeway
Newly weds in the back of a limosine
A welder’s son and a banker’s daughter
All they want is every thing

She came out here to be an actress
He was a singer in a band
They might just go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been

Only in America
Dreamin’ in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to

We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Only in America
Where we dream in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to

We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Yeah Only in America

Only in America

Where we dream in red white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to

Only in America
