Day of days for you, America
We honor and remember you
Of the coasts of ancient sentinel oaks
Mindful still of history -marching
Across time, across humanities' horizons
Lives in the making
Memories for the taking
Day of days for you, America
We savor and sanctify you
Of the mountains of westward trails
Hopeful still in frontier -forcing
By the changing, challenging of cultures,
Lives in the making
Memories for the taking
Day of days for you, America
We respect and claim you
Of the rivers and the plains
Faithful still for the abundance- sharing
Into prosperity and also, accountability
Lives in the making
Memories for the taking
Day of days for you, America
We cherish and treasure you
Of the clamoring souls "yearning to breathe free"
Purposeful still in dream- building
From here and beyond your shores
Lives in the making
Memories for the taking
Day of days for you, America
Destiny holds her breath...
Shine on, Liberty....
