God bless America

And keep us safe and free,

Safe from "all our enemies"

Wherever they may be.

For enemies are forces

That often dwell within,

Things that seem so harmless

Become a major sin.

Little acts of selfishness

Grow into lust and greed,

And make the love of power

Our idol and our creed.

For all our wealth and progress

Are as worthless as can be,

Without the faith that made us great

And kept our nation free.

And while it's hard to understand

The complexities of war,

Each one of us must realize

That we are fighting for

The principles of freedom

And the decency of man,

But all of this much be achieved

According to God's plan.

So help us as Americans

To search deep down inside,

And discover if the things we do

Are always justified.

And teach us to walk humbly

And closer in Thy ways,

And give us faith and courage

And put purpose in our days.

And make each one of us aware

That each must do his part,

For in the individual is

Where peace must have its start.

For a better world to live in

Where all are safe and free,

Must start with faith and hope

And love deep in the heart of "Me."
