Learning Through Mom: America

Lyrics: This Land Is Your Land

This land is your land,
This land is my land,
From California,
To the New York island,
From the Redwood Forest,
To the Gulf stream waters,
This land was made for you and me.

As I was walking,
That ribbon of highway,
I saw above me,
That endless skyway,
I saw below me,
That golden valley,
This land was made for you and me.

I've roamed and rambled,
And I've followed my footsteps,
To the sparkling sand of her diamond deserts,
And all around me a voice was sounding,
This land was made for you and me.

The sun comes shining,
As I was strolling,
The wheat fields waving,
And the dust clouds rolling,
The fog was lifting a voice came chanting,
This land was made for you and me.

Lyrics: Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle went to town,
Riding on a pony,Ca
Stuck a feather in his hat,
And called it macaroni.

Yankee Doodle, keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.

Father and I went down to camp,
Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys,
As thick as hasty pudding.

Yankee Doodle, keep it up,

Yankee Doodle dandy,

Mind the music and the step,

And with the girls be handy.

There was Captain Washington,

Upon a slapping stallion,

Giving orders to his men,

I guess there was a million.

Yankee Doodle, keep it up,

Yankee Doodle dandy,

Mind the music and the step,

And with the girls be handy.

Lyrics: Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Lyrics: My Country 'Tis of Thee

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of Liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrim's pride!
From ev'ry mountain side,
Let freedom ring!

My native country thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love.
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees,
Sweet freedom's song.
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Our father' God, to Thee
Author of Liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King!

Lyrics: God Bless America

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that is free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

God Bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her, and guide her,
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the praries,
To the oceans, white with foam.
God Bless America,
My home sweet home.

Lyrics: Battle Hymn of the Republic

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He had loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
