You're A Grand Old Flag

Song: You’re a Grand Old Flag

You’re a grand old flag

You’re a high-flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave

You’re the emblem of the land I love

The home of the free and the brave

Every heart beats true ‘neath the Red, White and Blue

Where there’s never a boast or brag

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

hum

You’re a grand old flag

You’re a high-flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave

You’re the emblem of the land I love

The home of the free and the brave

Every heart beats true ‘neath the Red, White and Blue

Where there’s never a boast or brag

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

One Nation

Song: One Nation

Maybe we’re not the same color

Maybe we’re not the same race.

Maybe we don’t have the same beliefs or live in the same kind of place.

Maybe we think we’re too different

Maybe that’s simply not true

Maybe I also have hopes and dreams, and maybe I share them with you.

Share with you, oh!

We are one nation, yes, we are one land!

Together in freedom, united we stand!

Oh! We are one nation, yes, we are one land!

Together in freedom, united we stand! Oh!

We are a rainbow of people

We have our own history

We share a nation with common bonds, a nation where people are free

We know that freedom is precious

We know the cost is extreme

We share commitment and gratitude, we share our American Dream.

Share our dream, oh!

We are one nation, yes, we are one land!

Together in freedom, united we stand!

Oh! We are one nation, yes, we are one land!

Together in freedom, united we stand! Oh!

We are one nation, yes, we are one land!

Together in freedom, united we stand!

Oh! We are one nation, yes, we are one land!

Together in freedom, united we stand! Oh!

We are, we are, we are one nation!

Ahhhh!

One Nation!

God Bless the USA

Song: God Bless the USA

If tomorrow all the things were gone

I’d worked for all my life

And I had to start again

with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars

to be livin’ here today.

‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,

and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,

where at least I know I’m free

And I won’t forget the men who died

who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up

next to you and defend her still today.

‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land

God Bless the USA

From the lakes of Minnesota

to the hills of Tennessee

Across the plains of Texas

From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston

and New York and LA

Well, there’s pride in every American heart

and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,

where at least I know I’m free

And I won’t forget the men who died

who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up

next to you and defend her still today.

‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land

God Bless the USA

And I’m proud to be an American,

where at least I know I’m free

And I won’t forget the men who died

who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up

next to you and defend her still today.

‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God Bless the USA

Yankee Doodle Boy

Song: Yankee Doodle Boy (Boys only)

I’m the kid that’s all the candy

I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy

I’m glad I am

So’s Uncle Sam

I’m a real live Yankee Doodle

Made my name and fame and boodle

Just like Mister Doodle did, by riding on a pony

I love to listen to the Dixie strain

I long to see the girl I left behind me

And that ain’t a josh

She’s a Yankee, by gosh

Oh say, can you see

Anything about a Yankee that’s a phony?

I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy

A Yankee Doodle do or die

A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam

Born on the 4th of July

I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart

She’s my Yankee Doodle joy

Yankee Doodle came to London

Just to ride the ponies

I am a Yankee Doodle boy

I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart

She’s my Yankee Doodle joy

Yankee Doodle came to London

Just to ride the ponies

I am a Yankee Doodle boy

America

Song: America (Girls only)

My country, ‘tis of thee

Sweet land of liberty,

Of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died!

Land of the pilgrims’ pride

From ev’ry mountainside

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.

This is America

Song: This is America

This is America, America.

A land of courage, faith and honor

A land of true equality

A land of hope and pride

A land of unity

A land of liberty

This is America, America.

A land of courage, faith and honor

A land of true equality

A land of hope and pride

A land of unity

A land of liberty

A land of hope and pride

A land of unity

A land of liberty

This is America, America.

This Land is Your Land

Song: THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

CHORUS: 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 a ribbon of highway

I saw above me and endless skyway

I saw below me a golden valley

This land was made for you and me

CHORUS

I’ve roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

And all around me a voice was sounding

This land was made for you and me

CHORUS

When the sun was shining when I was strolling

The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling

As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting

This land was made for you and me

CHORUS x2

America the Beautiful

Song: America the Beautiful

O beautiful, for spacious skies

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain

America! America!

God shed his grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea.

O beautiful, for patriot dream

That sees beyond the years

Thine alabaster cities gleam

Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!

God shed his grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea.

Welcome to the spring session: A Salute to America!

I am excited to get started learning new music with you. I will be spending some time over the next few days adding songs lyrics and links to the music to this blog - that will give your child a place to come to practice if they wish.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
