American pride

When I hear the songs of American Pride my heart swells as my mind
drifts, and takes a backward ride.

You see Amber waves of grain. I see sky blue eyes, laughing, and dancing
in the gentle rain.

You might see purple mountains majesty. I see little hands desperately
reaching out to me

You might say god shed your grace on thee, I pray for my children to be
spared from agony

America to me is innocent and frail, that at times needs to be protected
like the Holy Grail

Like my children seeking security, for which is why I fought the wars I
have fought as many of have before me.

Now don’t let me words deceive, please at first I wasn’t as innocent
as this words leads you to believe

I was young brave and seeking glory, which I did find; it very was
readily waiting and wanting for me.

But now I see what freedom truly is. I see what it honor, courage and
loyalty really means to me.

I sit out on my porch watching my children play, watch them romp and
dance in the winds gentle sway

While I watch them I think to my self as my heart sings the song America
the Beautiful.

Watching my children knowing I would once again give my life for
something so wonderful
