Radio Version of “The Beauty of America”
You can take the lives of people
You can try and make us run
But you will never break us
Or stop what we’ve begun
We know your line is set.
But we’ll keep our spirits high.
Our Hearts are filled with sorrow
For the people who have died.
Our Nation we’ll defend
We’ll hold our flags in hand
And we won’t part from doing right
For freedom we will stand
The beauty of America
We can never forget
May our goals to stick together
Be accomplished not just set.
For each other we will stand
We will take each others hands
And we won’t part for mankind’s heart
Will soon unite this land.

Stand For America (Original Poem)
You can take the lives of people,
You can try to take our pride,
But you will never break us,
Or what we have inside.
You can make us sob and cry,
You can make us really mad,
But we’ll keep our spirits high,
Even though we might be sad.
For each other we will stand,
We will hold each other’s hand,
And we won’t part, for mankind’s heart
Helps protect our nation’s land.
The beauty of America
May we never forget,
And our goal to stick together
Be accomplished, not just set
For each other we sill stand,
We will hold each other’s hand,
And we won’t part, for mankind’s heart
Helps protect our nation’s land.
