America, Keep Her Bright – 1930s Pop

#1930s #Pop #America, Keep Her Bright – 1930s Pop From the wheat that rolls in Kansas gold, To the harbor bells where the night turns cold, From the pine-clad hills where the eagles fly, To the desert roads beneath a wide sky. I have walked your towns, I have known your name, Heard the factory whistle, the farmer's refrain. America, keep her bright, Guide her heart through the stormy night, Let the torch you gave us still burn true, For the many, for the few. Hold her steady, hold her free, From shore to shore, from sea to sea, Heaven watch the land we love, America, keep her bright from above. For the mothers rocking cradles low, For the fathers teaching what to sow, For the sailor watching harbor light, For the child who prays before the night. May we stand together, humble and strong, Sing one voice, one country, one song. America, keep her bright, Guide her heart through the stormy night, Let the torch you gave us still burn true, For the many, for the few. Hold her steady, hold her free, From shore to shore, from sea to sea, Heaven watch the land we love, America, keep her bright from above. Not by might, not by crown, But by kindly hearts in every town. America, keep her bright, Lead her onward in morning light, May her promise ever ring true, God be near in all we do. Hold her steady, hold her free, Land of hope for you and me. Keep her bright... keep her bright...
