Lyrics
My country,' tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing...
America make some noise!
Booyah!
A land of broken dreams,
And a land of battle scars,
Hip Hip Hooray we got a land of fallen stars,
But God is my redeemer,
The victor in the end,
Bring a heal'n to this nation,
A heal'n to my friends
A rough road made smooth,
And a crooked path made straight,
America get on your knees,
And pray to something great
We shall overcome this world,
In all god's glory,
We shall overcome this world in the end
We shall overcome this world,
In all god's glory,
We shall overcome this world
Booyah!
A land of broken dreams,
And a land of battle scars,
Hip Hip Hooray we got a land of fallen stars,
But God is my redeemer,
The victor in the end,
Bring a heal'n to this nation,
A heal'n to my friends
Every valley be exalted,
And every mountainside made flat,
Ya judge the color before the content,
No we ain't going out like that
We shall overcome this world,
In all god's glory,
We shall overcome this world in the end
We shall overcome this world,
In all god's glory,
We shall overcome this world
Sound the bells let freedom ring
Unite in Christ and people sing
Sound the bells let freedom ring
Unite in Christ and people sing
Sound the bells let freedom ring
Unite in Christ and people sing
Sound the bells let freedom ring
Unite in Christ and people sing
Sound the bells let freedom ring
Unite in Christ and people sing
Sound the bells let freedom ring
Unite in Christ and people sing
My country,' tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside let freedom ring!
(My country,' tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside let freedom ring!)
We shall overcome this world,
In all god's glory,
We shall overcome this world in the end
We shall overcome this world,
In all god's glory,
We shall overcome this world
(My country,' tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside let freedom ring!)
We shall overcome this world,
In all god's glory,
We shall overcome this world in the end
We shall overcome this world,
In all god's glory,
We shall overcome this world
"When we allow freedom ring—when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet,
from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children—
black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics—
will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
