God bless America.
A land of democracy.
A place where we are free.
A place that's endured a tragedy.

God bless America,
and those who have passed.
God bless the people of New York.
It has all happened so fast.

God bless America,
as we try to put our feelings into words.
With images so shocking,
the mind can't comprehend.

God bless America,
a land with people who are so giving,
where people are risking their lives
to save their friends and perfect strangers.

God bless America,
whose people won't allow terrorists
to destroy our country
and our spirit.

by Irving Berlin
