The Star-Spangled Banner
Oh say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts, we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still there.
Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave.
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Oh, thus be it ever, when free men shall stand.
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the heav’n rescued land.
Praise the Pow’r that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto “In God is our trust!”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave.
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

The Ride of Paul Revere
They saw two lanterns in the North church tower.
Ride! Ride!
They knew this was to be the fateful hour.
Ride! Ride!
For a man to ride and to alarm
Every village and Every farm
To awaken them and call to arm.
It was the ride of Paul Revere!
(Chorus)
Ride! Ride! Tho’ the night be cold.
Ride! Ride! Till the truth be told!
Ride! Ride! Like that man of old!
Ride like Paul Revere
-2-
In Seventy-five upon an April night,
Ride! Ride!
The air was chilly, and the moon shone bright.
Ride! Ride!
They rowed him past the man-of-war.
Landed on the Charlestown shore.
Where the finest steed was ready for,
The ride of Paul Revere!
(Chorus)
Ride! Ride! Tho’ the night be cold.
Ride! Ride! Till the truth be told!
Ride! Ride! Like that man of old!
Ride like Paul Revere
I wonder if, two hundred years ahead,
Ride! Ride!
If they will ride, or if they’ll stay in bed.
Ride! Ride!
When faith and freedom within them die,
And when they hear that midnight cry
And the hoof-beats cross the moonlight sky,
Will they ride with Paul Revere?
Ride with Paul Revere!
Ride! Ride!
They knew this was to be the fateful hour.
Ride! Ride!
For a man to ride and to alarm
Every village and Every farm
To awaken them and call to arm.
It was the ride of Paul Revere!
(Chorus)
Ride! Ride! Tho’ the night be cold.
Ride! Ride! Till the truth be told!

THREE BRANCHES OF OUR GOVERNMENT

The President of the United States
An important job because
He signs or he can veto,
The Bills that become our laws.

And a Cabinet too.

I LOVE AMERICA
I love to see a baby,
A mother’s tender care.
The future of America,
She is holding there.
I love to see small children,
With hands upon their heart.
They pledge allegiance to our flag,
Before their lessons start.
I love to see “Old Glory” in the breeze.
Stars and stripes
Shining bright
It tells the world we’re free.

I love America!
Long live this land of liberty.

This is the place I want to be.
I love this land from ‘sea to shining sea.’

The homeland of the free.
I love to see the farmlands,
And smell the new mown hay.
A farmer on a tractor,
Working hard each day.
I love to see a church house
Where people go to pray.
They are seeking guidance,
To live from day to day.
Many different cultures I can see…..
They all came to this land
They wanted to be free!

Freedom Isn’t Free
Freedom isn’t free! Freedom isn’t free!
You gotta pay a price...You’ve gotta sacrifice,
For your liberty.
Freedom is a word often heard today,
But if you wanna keep it there’s a price to pay.
Each generation’s gotta win it anew,
‘Cause it’s not something handed down to you.
Freedom isn’t free! Freedom isn’t free!
You gotta pay a price...You’ve gotta sacrifice,
For your liberty.
There was a gen’ral by the name of George,
With a small band of men at Valley Forge,
Left the comfort of home for the cold and ice,
They won Independence ‘cause they paid the price.
Freedom isn’t free! Freedom isn’t free!
You gotta pay a price...You’ve gotta sacrifice,
For your liberty.
To some people freedom is a waving flag,
To do your own thing is another man’s bag.
For ev’ry man freedom’s the eternal quest.
Free to give humanity your very best.
Freedom isn’t free! Freedom isn’t free!
You gotta pay---- a--- price----- gotta sa—cri--fice,
For your liberty.
Freedom isn’t free! Freedom isn’t free!

Let us pledge allegiance to a land that’s free.
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
