National Anthem Usa

"National Anthem USA" Hands to hearts with baseball capped compassion We swear on a timeless treasure of freedom Asking new artists every time to hit the tender spot of America They beg for the chance to sing the Francis Scott Key to our hearts Rebellious revolutionary days forced us to face The king of England, most taxing on our troubles A tumor so ugly and far away from the truth He was growing ever more malignant With every year of passing this country grew more proud Endearing us to older countries we certainly had to prove ourselves Throughout tumultuous efforts We fought on this land and others From the souls who struggled with hand packed gunpowder and bullets of balls To the men who survived amputation and the casualties of consequence M.I.A'.s and P.O.W.'s in Vietnam with green turtle shells on head, they fought like dogs Tags to remind us are plenty because freedom is not free Semper Fi sweet marines And for new lands so vast, they were to become the new states Of mind for auspicious entrepreneurs who knew the greatness We were blessed with the new land to our west Exploring revelry which led us to find the other shining sea Gold made us rush while liberty allowed us to stay Settlers moving west across the nation brought much trepidation But nowadays we have a future to forage for the best it has to offer As we dine on democracy from the plate of our predecessors Begun with the melody that makes people goose bump The Star Spangled Banner
