Bless You
T.R.U.C.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
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 U.S.A.
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
And New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say
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
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 U.S.A.
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 U.S.A.
The lyrics to T.R.U.C.E.'s song Bless You are a cover of the classic patriotic anthem "God Bless the U.S.A." by singer Lee Greenwood. The song is a heartfelt tribute to the pride and resilience of the American people, highlighting the enduring values of freedom, family, and country. The opening lines describe the loss of all material possessions but the strength that comes from family and the opportunity to start anew in a country that values freedom. The singer expresses gratitude for the American flag, which stands as a symbol of that freedom, and for the many sacrifices made by veterans who have given their lives to protect it. The chorus boldly proclaims the singer's pride in being an American and his commitment to defend the nation at all costs. The second verse paints a vivid picture of the diversity and pride of the American people, from the Midwest to the West Coast, highlighting the spirit of unity and shared purpose that unites us all. The song ends with a reiteration of the chorus, calling upon all Americans to stand and declare their love for this great country.
