They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known.
And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.
Now, I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
And I can only stand apart and sympathize.
For we are always what our situations hand us....
It's either sadness or euphoria.

I know it's older than I am; most of my favorite songs are. But no song means more to me. I wish it still touched America the way it did when it came out.
If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men 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.
From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea
From Detroit 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
That I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men 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.
