What Makes America Great

What makes America great… what makes America great…

We pray it’s not too late to lead all the world to a brighter future.

It’s the firemen that rush to a building to save lives

It’s the policemen that keep us safe when problems arise

It’s the astronauts who journey beyond our world

It’s our freedom of speech

It’s the leaders we choose and our freedom to choose them

What makes America great… they make America great

We pray it’s not too late to lead all the world to a brighter future.

It’s the soldiers out there defending our way of life

It’s the volunteers who give freely of their time

It’s the farmers who plant and grow our daily food

It’s the buildings we worship in

And the eagle that flies as our symbol of freedom

(Chorus 2x)

We all have contributions to make… and the freedom to live our dreams…

And that’s what makes America great.

It’s the heroes who gave their lives so we could live

It’s the stars and stripes of a flag waving in the wind

It’s the fathers who teach their children how to grow

And the mothers who love too much

And the children today who will lead us tomorrow

(Chorus 2x)

We all have contributions to make… and the freedom to live our dreams…

And that’s what makes America great.

It’s our right to dissent and not always agree

It’s the freedom to cast your vote and stand up for liberty

From the doctor that heals to the pilot who flies

From the teacher who educates to the artist that beautifies

We can all take a stand

We can all keep the faith

We can all touch a life

We can all make a difference

And that makes America great.
