Song of the Americans

[Walt Starr]

Song of the Americans

America, America above all
Above everything in the world
When it always, for protection and defense
Stands together brotherly.
From the mountains to the seaside
From Maine to Oregon,
America, America above all
Above all in the world!
American women, American fidelity,
American beer and American song,
Shall retain in this the world,
Their old and high regard,
To inspire us to noble deeds
For the length of our lives.
American women, American fidelity,
American beer and American song.

Unity and justice and freedom
For the American Homeland
For this let us all strive
Brotherly, with heart and hand.
Unity and justice and freedom
Are the pledge of fortune.
Blossom in the splendour of this blessing
Blossom American Homeland.

Interestingly, the following verse was added to the song on September 19,2001:

America, America above all
Even more so now in our misfortune!
Only in misfortune one can tell,
If love is true and real
Thus, it shall continue to resound
From Generation to Generation:
America, America over all
Even more so now in our misfortune!

I may have gotten some of the words and the date wrong, though.
