Hi, The first thing I'll admit is, I'm no musician. My gift is lyrics, and I am always on the lookout for collaborators to improve on what I've been given. So, if you give me a listen, please make sure you hear the lyrics. The exception is,"In America", which a friend of mine took under his wing and did amazing things with.

Story behind the song

I think we need, in this country, to appreciate the freedom we enjoy. We also need to appreciate the men and women who lay their lives on the line to keep us free.

			  In America
Verse1:
	They stepped out of the vessel
	into a brand new world
	The waves were flowing endlessly
	on that Northeastern shore
	Some of those first footprints
	were footprints of my own
	in America, in America,
Verse 2:
	They spread out from the shoreline
	to South and North and West
	They fought the barren Winters
	They fought for every breath
	They buried many loved ones
	and courage lead the rest
	in America, in America,
Chorus:
Oh, I will never lay down
and let her spirit die
My forefather's fire glows
behind these burning eyes
They gave their lives for freedom
and the blood they shed is mine
in America
Verse 3:
	They built the mighty cities
	and plowed the barren plains
	They lifted up their armaments
	oh, time and time again
	that we may have a country 
	standing strong against the wind
	in America, in America,
Verse 4:
	They fought to keep this soil free
	and many gave their blood
	through the many sands of time
	for country and for love
	showing freedom isn't free
	it's something we fight for
	in America, in America,
Chorus:
Chorus 2:
Oh, their blood is in the soil
and within this heart of mine
I will fight for freedom and
for freedom I will die
that we will keep this country free
throughout the sands of time
in America

Great lyrics. I am ancestor of Czech immigrants and my grandmother who is still living at 92 tells the stories of her journey to our great country. This song really says everything I feel we should all remember.
