Tom Douglas America's Son
His portrait fades and his memory’s gone, earthquake cracked his tower of stone,
His voice still echoes charge on, charge on,
God blessed America, with her first son George Washington,
Taxes and slaves with colonies,
Men who lived and died to be free, fought the iron fist of tyranny with liberty,
God blessed America with her first son George Washington,
No surrender and no retreat, first in war and first in peace,
Father…a soldier and a citizen,
Gave his soul to God, and his heart to his countrymen,
Bullets flew from out of sight, heaven chose to spare his life,
The soldiers bled and horses fell, led his men through the gates of hell,
From Valley Forge through Yorktown going, down to country and won the war, amen, amen,
No surrender and no retreat, first in war and first in peace,
Father and a soldier and a citizen,
Gave his soul to God, and his heart to his countrymen,
When the war was finally won, glory came to Washington,
Infused crowd and took the bow, so help me God, what now,
From lady liberty to the California sun, we keep looking for another one,
We’ll find our hope back where we started from,
May God bless America, with another George Washington,
And give your soul to God, and your heart to your countrymen.
