[edit] Lyrics

Chorus:

This is my country! Land of my birth!

This is my country! Grandest on earth!

I pledge thee my allegiance, America, the bold,

For this is my country to have and to hold.

Verse:

What difference if I hail from North or South

Or from the East or West

My heart is full of love for all of these.

I only know I swell with pride and deep within my breast,

I thrill to see old glory paint the breeze!

Chorus:

This is my country! Land of my choice!

This is my country! Hear my proud voice!

I pledge thee my allegiance, America, the bold,

For this is my country to have and to hold.
