IF THERE WERE NO AMERICA
by Dan Patrick
�
If there were no America
Who would have defeated evil in WW II
Who would have torn down the iron curtain
What would the world look like today
For that no one can be certain...
If there were no America
Who would clothe and feed the poor
Yet never ask to be repaid
Who would be willing to help friend or foe
Whenever asked for aid
If there were no America
Where would the world turn for hope
Where would dreams become a reality
Who would keep freedom's torch burning
And where would the oppressed flee...
If there were no America
Who would stand for justice for all
Where would God's glory be proclaimed
Where would everyone rights be championed
And where would the freedom of religion reign
If there were no America
Nowhere and no one would be safe
Evil would have a license to prevail
All hope would be lost
And every life would be for sale
If there were no America
The rights of the minority would be vanquished
Dissenting voices would not be allowed
Elections would be controlled and corrupted
Individualism lost to the mob and the crowd
If there were no America
The world would never have known
How great a coutry can be
When liberty is its' core value
And its people are truly free
If there were no America
The word hero would have a lesser meaning
There would be no home of the brave or land of the free
The stars and the stripes would never have flown
To help change the course of history
Let's hope that the world never forgets
The one country they can always trust
For where would they turn in their darkest hours
If there was no America.�
