God Bless the USA
Beyoncé · Other Songs - Beyoncé
Id worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my family by my side
Id thank my lucky stars, to be livin' here today
Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they cant take that away
And I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up
next to you and defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston, to New York to L.A
Well there's pride in every American heart
and it's time to make a change
That I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
and who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
And I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
and who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA

The track stands as a testament to her versatility, showcasing her capacity to merge personal expression with broader cultural themes. Recorded during an era where she frequently explored themes of identity and resilience, this recording highlights her commitment to bringing diverse narratives to the forefront of American music.
