No matter where in life I am
I close my eyes at my command
I see the ocean big and blue
Birds that fly for freedom too

The flag that rises in the sky
Against the clouds that pass on by
With colors of our country's heart
Red white and blue our work of art

Pride to fill the streets of gold
Where many stories have been told
Of all who walked in footsteps paved
By the many hearts engraved

And so the song it lingers on
In every bright and lasting dawn
That fills the land with pride we share
With freedom's light a special prayer

We are one all joined with grace
By all the history we embrace
We shall stand up tall and proud
By every word our hearts avowed.
