They're the men and
the women of a nation that's grand
Having the freedom to travel anywhere in the land
They often support a different party of choice
Yet, faced with injustice, they'll protest with one voice
They disdain acts of racism, preachers of hate
Their leaders dare not regard them as wards of the state
They're quick to defend any cause that is just
They don't fear police, but see them as ones they can trust
They can seek and find justice in a court that's supreme
Their great Bill-of-Rights was their forefathers' dream
They stand ready to serve if their country need call
Even willing to die to help assure it won't fall
Many cultures and colors and religions you'll find
Have been joined as one people and agree as one mind
That they'll pledge their allegiance and do all they can
To preserve this, the world's greatest country
Founded on Freedom for Man
THESE ARE AMERICANS!
