Current Version with Lyrics
Verse 1
Fertile fields stretch wide and near.
Varied lands for crops all year.
From distant lands our people came,
Their woven strengths still remain.
Verse 2
Colleges and schools for learning
Train our minds to keep on churning.
The church helps to open minds.
And teach us how to serve mankind.
Chorus
We sing songs, old and new.
Songs seal us with bonding glue.
We sing of life and liberty.
We sing of love and living free.
Verse 3
Like new water on fertile land,
Our schools help students stand.
Teach service and economic growth.
Teach peace and friendship both.
Verse 4
In mountains high we rest in awe
Our camping’s like an alpine spa.
From work to wealth, we live by law.
Men of faith believe like Pa.
Chorus
We sing songs, old and new.
Songs seal us with bonding glue.
We sing of life and liberty.
We sing of love and living free.
Verse 5
Opportunities, great and swell
We earn, we build, we buy and sell,
Shared ideals help keep us strong
It’s America where we belong.
Chorus
We sing songs, old and new.
Songs seal us with bonding glue.
We sing of life and liberty.
We sing of love and living free.
Oh yes, we sing of love and living free.
