Born In America

Story Behind The Song

I feel extremly blessed for having the parents I have. Their education of the will of the creator has given me the compassion to love everyone who crosses my path. We must all live each day for others. If we all do this, our posterity will always reap a better world.

Lyrics

Born In America 2003 ? Phillip Powell

I was born in America by the grace of God
Taught to love my neighbor, be honest and strong
Went to church on Sunday, to learn about the lord
And how find my way heavens door

To be honest and true, Walk in the light
Try to help my brother, with his holy fight
Strengthen each soul that heaven brings my way
Yes, I will try to do this every day

Born in America under Gods Holy light
Born in America and I will try to do just what is right

Now Freedom is growing, but there is a price to pay
For the debt we own as we sent our sons away
Now our daughters fight, for our flag each day
For the glory of our freedom she will wave

Born in America under Gods Holy light
Born in America and we will never give up our rights

Even when evil comes to our door
We will hold this holy ground
And the Light always defeats the darkness
And the red, white and blue will always stand

Born in America under God?s Holy light
Born in America and we will never give up the fight

Be honest and true, Walk in the light
Try to help our brothers, with their holy fights
Strengthen each soul that heaven brings our way
Is what will try to do each holy day

Born in America under Gods Holy light
Born in America and we will never give up the fight

Born in America under Gods Holy light
Born in America and where we will always fight for the light
