America First 1915

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 21 May 2005

Come, you children of the U.S.A.
and you from far o'er the sea,
Clasp your hands for ever and for aye,
for the land of the brave and the free,
Salute the Emblem that you love,
when Stars and Stripes are in view,
And when "Old Glory" floats above,
stand up for the Red, White and Blue.

America First,
Oh! hear sweet Liberty's cry,
America First,
where you live,
there you must die.
Oh! Angels of Peace come again,
Too many hearts are now in pain,
Tho' tears may burn
and hearts may burst
Remember, America First!

America First,
Oh! hear sweet Liberty's cry,
America First,
where you live,
there you must die.
Oh! Angels of Peace come again,
Too many hearts are now in pain,
Tho' tears may burn
and hearts may burst
Remember, America First!

We must stand as one
in heart and hand,
while seas between us roar,
We shall bravely all the wrong amend,
justice now and for ever more.
From North and South,
and East and West,
Don't let your heart fear the sword,
Let orphans rest on mother's breast,
we pray to the Almighty Lord.

America First,
Oh! hear sweet Liberty's cry,
America First,
where you live,
there you must die.
Oh! Angels of Peace come again,
Too many hearts are now in pain,
Tho' tears may burn
and hearts may burst
Remember, America First!

America First,
Oh! hear sweet Liberty's cry,
America First,
where you live,
there you must die.
Oh! Angels of Peace come again,
Too many hearts are now in pain,
Tho' tears may burn
and hearts may burst
Remember, America First!
