Two Hundred Fifty Years - A Keith Blount & Suno Creation

Two Hundred Fifty Years A Keith Blount & Suno Creation June 18, 2026 (C) 2026 Lyrics From the harbor lights of Boston To the fields of Tennessee From the whispers of the pilgrims To a cry for liberty Farmers, printers, sons and daughters Rose beneath a stormy sky Signed their names with hope and courage Saying freedom would not die Through the fire, through division Through the struggle and the pain We kept reaching for the promise We could build this land again Two hundred fifty years Of dreaming out loud Of many hearts united Standing strong and proud From every shore and every faith Together we belong Different voices, one great nation Many stories, one song Oh say can you hear us now Rising proud and free America, America For all the world to see Irish hands laid railroad tracks down Italian songs filled city streets African rhythms, Native wisdom Spanish prayers and Jewish peace Chinese workers crossed the mountains Seeking hope and dignity Refugees and tired strangers Found a home called liberty We have stumbled, we have faltered There were times we lost our way Slavery’s shadow, wars and hatred Still demanded brighter days Marchers crossed those southern bridges Voices rang for equal rights And the dream kept moving forward Like a torch against the night Every language, every color Every soul beneath these stars Adds another thread of beauty To the flag that bears our scars Two hundred fifty years Of dreaming out loud Of many hearts united Standing strong and proud From every shore and every faith Together we belong Different voices, one great nation Many stories, one song Oh say can you hear us now Rising proud and free America, America For all the world to see Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu Sikh and Jewish, side by side Believers, doubters, seekers, dreamers All have helped this land survive English, Navajo, and Spanish Thousands more still fill the air Every accent tells a story Every family brought us here Two hundred fifty years Still reaching for the light Still becoming something greater Still defending what is right And the flame of freedom’s promise Still shines for all to see A nation built by many hands Still writing history Oh say can you hear us now Across the land and sea America, America Forever may you be From thirteen stars to fifty shining May the next years always prove That a nation born in freedom Can still rise in hope and truth
