From Border to Boarder
by Paula Maxwell
I love you from border to border
And from sea to shining blue sea
When you’re wearing your star spangled banner
You’re a sight for the eyes to perceive
I love all your snow covered mountains
And the eagles who nest in your trees
I love all your valleys and Rivers
That peacefully flow to the sea
I’ll defend you whenever you need me
And I pray to God it won’t be
And I’m ready whenever you call me
My sweet land of the brave and the free
And one day when my life is over
And my soul in eternity sleeps
Cover me with the star spangled banner
In the warmth of the brave and the free
