My Lady USA
Lord knows she isn’t perfect but she’s better than the rest.
And I always find her beautiful even when she is a mess.
She has her faults and failures but I love her anyway
And I thank the good Lord for her each and every day.
Now, some might call her haughty and resent the fact she’s there.
Some might call her flighty and say she doesn’t care.
But many dream about her, long to be within her arms.
There’s safety in her warm embrace and comfort in her charms.
Some say that she meddles where she doesn’t quite belong.
Some say she is stubborn, especially when she’s wrong.
She might have many weaknesses but she’s better than the rest.
If you put the others side by side, it’s plain she is the best.
And though some do despise her, I really don’t know why.
For she is very generous in times when others cry.
She stands up to the bullies and lifts up those who fall.
And she is always there to help when friends in need will call.
So, I’ll defend her honor. I’ll protect her where I can.
When others try to hurt her I will fight for this great land.
And I’ll be ever faithful. For her safety I will pray.
For I love this great country! God bless the U.S.A.!
