AMERICA!

in appreciation for those who counted ballots night and day. In honor of Stacey, John, Elijah, Jim (Clyburn). And in homage to those who are and who have served our loved ones in hospitals, nursing homes, on the front lines of the pandemic. And for Joe and Kamala who put their heart and soul into the race to save the soul of America.

Merely for thoe who might be interested.

While the storm clouds gather
Far across the sea
Let us all be grateful
To a land that's free.

Let us swear allegiance
To a land so fair
As we raise our voices
In a solemn prayer...

Then come the lyrics we all know.

I memorized this in the third grade and I still remember the words and the melody to this day.
