C      G/B                    Am  
All we've been given, by
Dm7                                         C/E  
those who came before, the
Am                      Dm7  
dream of a nation, where
F                                            G  
freedom would endure, the
F                    G                         Am7  
work and prayers of centuries, have
Dm7                                         E7  
brought us to this day
Dm7                                      C/E  
What shall be our legacy? What
F                                            G7  
will our children say?

Each generation from the
Dm7                                      C/E  
plains to distant shore with the
Am7                                              Dm  
gifts that they were given, were
        F                                            G  
determined to leave more
C                 G/B                 Am7  
Battles fought together, acts of
Dm7                                      E/G#  
conscience fought alone
Dm7                            C/E  
these are the seeds from which
     F                      G7  
America has grown
                        CC7+/B  Am

have nothing to share, who
Am                              C/G  
fear in their hearts, there
F                         G7  
is no hero there, know each
         Dm7/G    Am  
quiet act of dignity is
Dm7                    E/G#  
that which fortifies the

soul of a nation
