America
Blessed are they that walk this land
of milk and honey graced by his hand
Down through the ages of history's door
granted serenity and peace on its shore
Gods' majestic beauty lies upon this ground
it was well chosen when pilgrims had found
opportunity, green pastures upon its shores
the land had abundance and so much more
Our land had been chosen quite easy to see
for freedoms sake and truth set us free
Saving us from bondage, starvation abroad
abundance abounds, its God we applaud
For truth lies in measure, balance and gain
no other country can boast the same
We've shared our freedom, ideals from above
and gave of our country brotherhood and love
We need to give credit where credit is due
it lies with the majority not with the few
For we are all Gods people though some may not see
it's through Gods grace they are left to be free
to contemplate truths given from on high
without having to win Gods battle cry!

"Dancing Through Your Amber Waves of Grain"
America,
Once more before I close
These old and weary eyes
I'll gaze into
United We Stand
I write of you forever America
the endless clashes
the untold battles
our great and secret drama
We proposed
The land of the free
The land of the dream
Where money is key
and politicians scheme
The land of tolerance
"Confusion of Fate"
A single rose grows in the light,
Out of darkness in the sky.
Fear above and below its state,
Crushes
