With Love Sweat And Tears
by
Norma Jean Duncan
With love, sweat, and tears
Our forefathers fought
To keep freedom we've enjoyed
For these many years
Freedom of speech and press
Our right to worship God
These worthwhile goals
Or country fought to reach.
Many miles, before us traveled
Sorrows they encountered
We've come thus far with pride
Let good not be unraveled
With love, sweat, and tears
Our flag ploudly waves
Assuring us our freedom
Voicing out our cheers.
With love, sweat, and tears
America lives on
Proudly we stand, free and strong
Conquering our fears
Loyalty now a must
Our forefathers footsteps follow
Divided we fall, together we stand
In God we trust.
World peace for all
Now be our prayer
Lord, please don't let
Our nation fall
Yes, we're proud as we
Continue for many years
With love, sweat and tears
Together we shall be.
