"ThisIsAmerica"

From St. Augustine and Plymouth Rock, to the Hawaiian Islands Sunshine,
My Love for her runs Deep and Strong, my Pride is in her Soul.
This is America, America,
This is America, and my pride is in her soul.

The Bill of Rights that We Believe, the Cause that is our Freedom.
We hold them Sacred in our Hearts, Ideals that we Believe,
This is America, America,
This is America, and my pride is in her soul.

A Shrinking World, a Growing Scheme, Democracy Surrounds us,
Freedom's Bell will Ring again, with Liberty Enlightening the World.
This is America, America,
This is America, and my pride is in her soul.

This is America, America,
This is America, and my pride is in her soul.


On December 6, 1606,
the voyage came from England.
Jamestown was the first settlement,
The first seed of our nation.
This is America, America,
This is America, and my pride is in her soul.


Now it's time for school kids to add more phrases to the song!
Turning more of our history into lyrics ...

The settlement in Jamestown was the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1620.
The Pilgrims were English separatists seeking religious freedom who established the
Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts. Their arrival marked the beginning of
significant European colonization in New England and further shaped the cultural and
political landscape of what would become the United States.

My hope is for those who believe in the democratic process to encourage children to learn and sing this song ... in elementary schools at ralleys ... and to pass on the democratic word by singing this song and know they pass on the word of Honor, Dignity, Trust and Pride ...


Inspired by the ending of the "Cold War" I wrote this song ...
and to help people learn a little bit about the history of the United States of America ...

The song is copyrighted to protect the song from abuse and misuse, and so that Non-Profit venues and clubs like the Boy's 'n Girl Scouts, Campfire Scouts, both public & private elementary school's all can sing this song FREE.

OTOH, if you are using my music for proft then I expect fair royalties.
I only want to be paid when my song is used for commercial purposes!
