HAIL TO OUR NATION (Dedicated to President Clinton)
By Anthony Pecoraro
(Dedicated to President Clinton)
HAIL TO OUR NATION
So this land be great
Hail to our President
Hail to our people
Praise to our compassionate lawmakers
All our lands breathe to free
Like the flower pushing through the ground
Like a pebble rolling to its place
All our whispers shouting free
We give our great
We give our time
For all these lands
We cherish as thine
And the many fields
And the corn babes glow
And the buildings of wonder
We, the teachers of free
To show the brave
To care for the pain
Hail to our President
Hail to our people
Praise to our compassionate lawmakers
So this land be great
And the roses bloom
And the air so sweet
And the cleansing seas
washing away our folly
Let our schools rise again
Let our cites shine once more
And the children play
And our food is cleansed
And our health endure
With the mountains and their beauty
With the deserts and their peace
Praise to our compassionate lawmakers
Hail to our President
Hail to our people
So this land be great
To breathe the free
To whisper our call
And the rains so nourish
And the many winds cleanse
And the snow falls perfect and pure
No more will our rivers divide
No longer do we fear our brother
And the press be pure
And the forests give plenitude
Like the birds that soar
Like the whales that dance
And the shuttle floats
And the lands be free
Hail to our people
Hail to our President
Praise to our compassionate lawmakers
For all is for America to endure
And the people are happy
For the policeman, the fireman, BR> the nurse, and the soldier
Give of themselves
As the meadows flourish
As the animals prance
And the sick are held in caring arms
And our children are safe
And the elderly are enchanted
Like the stars the shine
Like the Sun that warms
Praise to our compassionate lawmakers
Hail to our President
Hail to our people
So our land be great
This, our nation, is free
--Anthony L. Pecoraro, 9-23-94 [4] (Book 28) c.1994
