Veterans Day

Lyrics American Anthem
by Norah Jones

All we've been given 
 By those who came before 
The dream of a nation 
Where freedom would endure  
The work and prayers 
Of centuries 
Have brought us to this day
 
What shall be our legacy?
What will our children say?
Let them say of me
I was one who believed  
In sharing the blessings 
I received 
Let me know in my heart  
When my days are through 
America 
America
I gave my best to you
 
Each generation from the plains
To distant shore with the gifts  
What they were given 
Were determined 
To leave more  
Valiant battles fought together 
acts of conscience fought alone 
these are the seeds  
From which America has grown
 
Let them say of me 
I was one who believed 
In sharing the blessings 
I received 
Let me know in my heart  
When my days are through  
America 
America
I gave my best to you
 
For those who think  
They have nothing to share  
Who fear in their hearts  
There is no hero there
 Know each quiet act  
Of dignity is  
That which fortifies 
The soul of a nation
That never dies
 
Let them say of me 
I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings  
I received  
Let me know in my heart  
When my days are through  
America
America 
I gave my best to you
