Peace Song 1916 Victor Schertzinger - 'Civilization'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 01 Mar 2003

America, America,
the eyes of the world are on you,
within your arms safe from harm
shelt'ring your own as you do.
Think of the millions
who are fighting right now,
who'd give their all
if they could call you home, sweet home.

Land of our fathers
sweet home that we adore.
Keep us Almighty
away from the toils of war,
and years that shall follow
will find us hand in hand,
our flag proudly waving
and Peace reigning o'er the land.

Land of our fathers
sweet home that we adore.
Keep us Almighty
away from the toils of war,
and years that shall follow
will find us hand in hand,
our flag proudly waving
and Peace reigning o'er the land.

America, America,
the land of a thousand sweet dreams,
from east to west, supremely blest,
God's chosen country it seems.
Liberty greets you as you enter the gates,
it's one for all,
and all for one United States.

Land of our fathers
sweet home that we adore.
Keep us Almighty
away from the toils of war,
and years that shall follow
will find us hand in hand,
our flag proudly waving
and Peace reigning o'er the land.

Land of our fathers
sweet home that we adore.
Keep us Almighty
away from the toils of war,
and years that shall follow
will find us hand in hand,
our flag proudly waving
and Peace reigning o'er the land.
