God Bless the USA by Beyonce, Music Lyrics and Video

American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles unveiled the patriotic power-ballad 'God Bless the USA' on Piers Morgan's CNN show last night (Thursday 5 May), with proceeds going to families of 9/11 victims.
Following the death of bin Laden, patriotism was spreading throughout the whole country, and R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles covered the song which proceeds will go to charity.

'God Bless the USA' was written and originally released in 1984 by country musician Lee Greenwood, and was played at this year's Republican party convention. Its popularity increased after 9/11, and it was re-released following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Beyoncé's version will raise funds for the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit. The singer originally recorded the track in 2008 for the Obama presidential campaign, but never released it. It seems likely the death of Osama bin Laden on Monday has been the spur for this release.

You can listen the song here.

If tomorrow all the things were gone
 I'd worked for all my life
 And I had to start again
 With just my family by my side
 
I'd thank my lucky stars
 To be livin’ here today
 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
 And they can't take that away
 
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
 And 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 USA
 
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
 To New York, to L.A.
 Well there’s pride in every American heart
 And it’s time to make a change
 
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
 And who gave that right to me
 
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 USA
 
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
 And 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 USA
