Lyrics The Stars and Stripes Forever! - Mormon Tabernacle Choir feat. Jerold D. Ottley & Columbia Symphony Orchestra

John Philip Sousa came back to earth one day
He looked around at what He found here
All the contradictions that abound here
Good surviving, evil thriving, everything in disarray
With frown and mouth turned upside down
He said this'll never do! Dead level never do!
Don't they know to show some pride in who they are?
The pioneer of former years were not without their doubts and woes and fears
But they know well the love of God would never let them go astray

But here today where there's no fear
Of dark in the wilderness, some are in wilderness
They must shift and lift their gaze to some new star
By a star in the east the least of men
Once were succored in time of needing
For the star promised peace to those in pain
And from Galilee was westwardly proceeding

With the star of the West the best of men
Now are siding in their endeavor
To restore as of yore their country's pride
In the glory of the Stars and Stripes forever

The cheers for the Red, White and Blue
For the red is the blood of our brothers
The white is the light of the star
That has led us to where we are
The blue is the hue of the sky
Where on high the Almighty falters never
Our banner for two hundred years!
Oh, pioneers! Here's to the Stars and Stripes forever!

The cheers for the Red, White and Blue
For the red is the blood of our brothers
The white is the light of the star
That has led us to where we are
The blue is the hue of the sky
Where on high the Almighty falters never
Our banner for two hundred years!
Oh, pioneers! Here's to the Stars and Stripes forever!

The cheers for the Red, White and Blue
For the red is the blood of our brothers
The white is the light of the star
That has led us to where we are
The blue is the hue of the sky
Where on high the Almighty falters never
Our banner for two hundred years!
Oh, pioneers! Here's to the Stars and Stripes forever!
