My Country Tis of Thee I been singing this song Since I was a kid Believing every word For what it is I came to this land For a chance to be free Not just chasing a dream But a life I could see I stand for this land I won’t back down Came here for freedom And I stand my ground Stars in the sky Fire in my veins I believe in this country Through the pride and the pain Yeah I speak the language Yeah I know the rules But I’ve felt the distance Yeah I’ve seen the truth Sometimes they look at me Like I don’t belong But I’ve carried this flag All along Same blood runs red Same fight inside I stand for this land I won’t back down Came here for freedom And I stand my ground Stars in the sky Fire in my veins I believe in this country Through the pride and the pain I’d give my life for it No second thought For the right to stand For the things we fought Freedom ain’t perfect But it’s worth the fight And I’ll stand right here For what I know is right I stand for this land Yeah I stand tall Through the rise and the fall I’ll give it my all Stars in the sky Still lighting the way I believe in God and this country Every single day I chose this land For the Stars and Stripes I give God and this country my life
