America's Son Lyrics by Laurie Holden

When the night
was dark
and the dawn
was cold
from sea to shining sea
and mountain’s majesty
he did it all from the red white
and the bold
’cause he’s
America’s Son
defending honor and glory
yes he’s America’s Son
and he blazed like the sun so we
could all tell his story
oh he’s America’s Son

He pledged his life to fly
in a shadow
he’s a dancer we loved
his country tears of the sweet land of liberty
wouldn’t back down from a fight
wipe the tears off your face
and put away your sarrow
his sacrifice gave us a new tomorrow
’cause he’s
America’s Son
a shining hero
’cause he’s
America’s Son
and he blazed like the sun
could all tell his story
oh he’s America’s Son
