    NEVER BE AFRAID TO BE PROUD of AMERICA -2023-24 **
    America the abundant, the place I was born
    I'll cherish till the day I die.
    Where the bones of past heroes lie buried in the ground
    Who loved her the same as I.
    Her mountains are so tall they reach for the sky
    With prairies where the green grasses grow.
    There's billions of trees where wild birds nest
    With creatures that flourish below.
    That blue gold called water with which we are blessed
    As raindrops or crystallized snow;
    Changes to rivers and fresh water lakes
    While the winds of our seasons blow.
    There's the haunt of a whistle from a lonely freight train
    Racing on ribbons of steel
    With the harvest of farms and from the factories
    Balanced in a box on a wheel.
    Some cities have buildings a hundred stories tall
    Structures of concrete, glass and steel.
    A statue in a harbor, a present from France
    Describes how, inside, we feel.
    That flag on the moon with red and white stripes
    Proves America’s dreams come true.
    A country of heroes who line up to protect
    The past, the present and the few.
    We’ll defeat terrorism as it should be fought
    Never letting Satan’s horde chase us to our door.
    Safeguarding our borders and system of life
    As our forefathers sacrificed before.
    Never be afraid to be proud of America
    And march with the brave, faithful and just.
    Refusing to submit to the will of our enemies
    Standing firm to preserve what we trust.
