What Makes America Great

Listen here >>> What Makes America Great

What makes America great…what makes America great…
We pray it’s not too late to lead all the world to a brighter future.

It’s the firemen that rush to a building to save lives
It’s the policemen that keep us safe when problems arise
It’s the astronauts who journey beyond our world
It’s our freedom of speech
It’s the leaders we choose and our freedom to choose them

What makes America great…they make America great
We pray it’s not too late to lead all the world to a brighter future.

It’s the soldiers out there defending our way of life
It’s the volunteers who give freely of their time
It’s the farmers who plant and grow our daily food
It’s the buildings we worship in
And the eagle that flies as our symbol of freedom

What makes America great…they make America great
We pray it’s not too late to lead all the world to a brighter future.

What makes America great…they make America great
We pray it’s not too late to lead all the world to a brighter future.

We all have contributions to make…and the freedom to live our dreams…
And that’s what makes America great.

What makes America great…they make America great
We pray it’s not too late to lead all the world to a brighter future.

It’s the heroes who gave their lives so we could live
It’s the stars and stripes of a flag waving in the wind
It’s the fathers who teach their children how to grow
And the mothers who love too much
And the children today who will lead us tomorrow

What makes America great…they make America great
We pray it’s not too late to lead all the world to a brighter future.

What makes America great… they make America great
We pray it’s not too late to lead all the world to a brighter future.

We all have contributions to make…and the freedom to live our dreams…
And that’s what makes America great.

It’s our right to dissent and not always agree
It’s the freedom to cast your vote and stand up for liberty
From the doctor that heals to the pilot who flies
From the teacher who educates to the artist that beautifies
We can all take a stand
We can all keep the faith
We can all touch a life
We can all make a difference
And that makes America great.

Students! Teachers!

“What Makes America Great”

…is a perfect song to be included in any patriotic school program!

Memorial Day,

4th of July,

American Heroes Day (Sept. 11th- this is a proposed national holiday.)

Be sure and bring it to the attention of your music department way ahead of time!
