The song that you have been listening to says exactly what I feel.
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'd gladly STAND UP NEXT TO YOU and DEFEND HER STILL TODAY
Because there's no doubt I love this land
GOD BLESS THE USA!
