Our America had its birth you know
Over two hundred forty years ago
Through the thunder, lightning and fire we grew
Into this nation of red, white and blue
In the rockets great glare we won the fight
And created a star that shines so bright.
With welcoming heart and book in her hand
The Lady in Green in the harbor stands
As she holds the torch for all who will see
This home of the brave and land of the free !
