Glorious America!
God bless this truly amazing place
Long live the American dream
One of a kind like no other
It is all within your hands to grab and hold onto
Open and free your mind
U know what to do
Seek and ye shall indeed find
A life beyond compare
Miracle waiting for you
Every minute you're one step closer
Run and we will find you to help you
In times both good and bad
Catch you when you fall and raise you up when you want to stand
Always our fellows of mankind for you we will be here
Come the dawn or the dark of night
Have no fear
For you have come at last here
To America!
Glorious America!
