America Will Survive

America Will Survive

As we brace against the winds of doom
Summon the strength of brave souls past
Fight the temptation of the panic room
And run Old Glory high up the mast!

For America the beautiful, America the great
Will not be measured by a band of ghouls
She will use this time of uncertain state
To strengthen her honor and silence the fools

Beloved are the weak and fortunate the strong
We are the heroes and our time has arrived
Open your windows to hear the red bird song
And know in your heart that we will survive
