With Love, Sweat, and Tears


With love, sweat and tears
Our forefathers fought
To keep freedom we've enjoyed
For these many years
Freedom of press and speech
Our right to worship God
These worthwhile goals
Our country fought to reach

Many miles before us traveled
Sorrows they encountered
We've come thus far with pride
Let good not be unraveled
With love, sweat, and tears
Our flag proudly waves
Assuring us our freedom
Voicing out our cheers

With love, sweat, and tears
America lives on
Proudly we stand free and strong
conquering our fears
Loyalty now a must
Our forefathers footsteps follow
Divided we fall, together we stand
In God we trust

World peace for all
Now be our prayer
Lord, please don't let
Our nation fall
Yes, we're proud as we
Celebrate these many years
With love, sweat, and tears
Together we shall be

Norma Duncan  1976  (Set to music - co writers (music only) by John Shampine & Will Gentry) Nasho Records.  Album "I'm Proud To Be An American."  copyright  2003/2004
