Our America
Wilson: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union
Cowboy Troy: I have a dream, a dream that one day
Rich: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, And they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights,
Big Kenny: That among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
B&R/GW: Oh say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Cowboy Troy: I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America
B&R/GW: Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
Cowboy Troy: And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God
B&R/GW: And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
Cowboy Troy: Indivisible
B&R/GW: O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
Cowboy Troy: With liberty and justice for all
B&R/GW: O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
