[Verse] Long time ago sailed across the sea Landed here a new world for you and me Pilgrims came for a better chance Started building a life on this wide expanse [Verse 2] Thirteen colonies standing proud and tall Fighting hard didn’t want to crawl Freedom won a brand-new start Crafted the nation with a lot of heart [Chorus] This is the story of us so bright From the dawn till the moon’s light Marching forward hand in hand In this brave and promised land [Verse 3] Civil war brother against brother In the end we had to recover North and South tried to reconcile Moving ahead mile by mile [Chorus] This is the story of us so bright From the dawn till the moon’s light Marching forward hand in hand In this brave and promised land [Bridge] Industrial age came with a boom Cities rising clearing the gloom Dreamers chasing new frontiers Facing trials conquering fears
