"The Country I Love"

Touch a fragrant rose, watch how a flower grows,

Hear a newborn baby cry,

See a fountain spring, listen to the wild birds sing,

Friendly faces passin' by,

See the moonbeams glow, look at the colored rainbow,

See the starry skies up above,

Hear the fresh new morning, see how the sunset's dawnin',

This is the country that I love.
 

Imagine all the beauty of our country so fair,

Wonder if we'll save it for our children to share,

Look around and see the sights and sounds in the air,

Hope before too long we know it's time for us to care.

Hear the children play, start at the break of day,

Watch them go to sleep at night,

See the happy smiles, look around for miles and miles,

Feel the sunshine clean and bright,

See the glistening sand, folks walkin' hand in hand,

See the shining wings of a dove,

Hear the fresh new morning, see how the sunset's dawning,

This is the country that I love.
