I sing "This Is My Country" for July 4th programs (especially singalongs), but I wasn't satisfied with the two original verses, so I wrote a third.

THIS IS MY COUNTRY
lyrics: Don Raye* / music: Al Jacobs ©1940

This Is My Country, land of my birth.
This Is My Country, greatest on earth.
I pledge thee my allegiance, America the bold,
For This Is My Country to have and to hold.

This Is My Country, land of my choice.
This Is My Country - hear my strong voice.
I pledge thee my allegiance, America the FAIR,*
For This Is My Country to have and to SHARE.

This Is My Country from sea to sea,
Land of great promise for you and me.
I pray for thy enduring justice and peace,
For This Is My Country, where all can be free.*
