John Philip Sousa came back to earth one day

He looked around at what he found here

All the contradictions that abound here

Good surviving evil striving everything in disarray

With frown and mouth turned upside down

He said This'll never do Dead level never do

Dont they know to show some pride in who they are

The pioneers of former years were not without

Their doubts and woes and fears but

They knew well the love of God

Would never let them go astray

But here today where there's no fear of dark

in the wilderness

Some are in wilderness

They must shift and lift their gaze to some new star

By a star in the East least of men

Once were succored in time of needing

For the star promised peace to those in pain

And from Galilee was westwardly proceeding

With the star of the West the best of men

Now are siding in their endeaor

To restore as of yore their country's pride

In the glory of the Stars and Stripes foreer

Three cheers for the Red white and blue

For the red is the blood of our brothers

The white is the light of the star

That has led us to where we are

The blue is the hue of the sky

Where on High the Almighty falters never

Our banner for two hundred years

Oh pioneers Here's to the stars and stripes forever

Three cheers for the Red white and blue

For the red is the blood of our brothers

The white is the light of the star

That has led us to where we are

The blue is the hue of the sky

Where on High the Almighty falters never

Our banner for two hundred years

Oh pioneers

Here's to the stars and stripes forever

Three cheers for the Red white and blue

For the red is the blood of our brothers

The white is the light of the star

That has led us to where we are

The blue is the hue of the sky

Where on High the Almighty falters never

Our banner for two hundred years

Oh pioneers

Here's to the stars and stripes forever
