(Joshua Gracin):

If tomorrow all the things were gone

I worked for all my life

And I'd had to start again just my children and my wife.



(All boys;Joshua Gracin, Clay Aiken,Ruben Studdard, Corey Clark, and Ricky Smith):

I thank my lucky stars

to be living here

Cause the flag still stands for freedom

And they can't take that away-----------------------



(All;Joshua Gracin, Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, Corey Clark, Rickey Smith,

Kimberly Caldwell, Kimberly Locke, Carman Rasmussen, Julia Demato, and Treynece):

And I'm proud to be an American were at least I know I'm free

And I won't forget the ones who died

Who gave that right to me

And I glady stand up next to you

and defend her still today!

Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land

God bless the U.S.A



(Kimberly Caldwell):

From the lakes of Minnesota

To the hills of Tennese



(All girls; Kimberly Caldwell, Kimberly Locke, Carmen Ramussen, Julia Demato, and Teynece):

Across the plains of Texas

From sea to shining to sea

From Detriot down to Houston

And New York to L.A.

Well there's pride in every American heart

And it's time we stand and say--------



(All):

And I'm proud to be an American

Where at least I know I'm free

And I won't forget the ones who died who gave that right to me!

And I gladly stand up next to you

And defend her still today

Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land-----

God Bless the U.S.A.-------



(All):

And I'm proud to be an American

Where at least I know I'm free

And I won't forget the ones who died

who gave that right to me

And I gladly stand up (drums) next to you

And defend her still today
