Freedom and/or American Pride

[BeatleloverKT]

Amazingly July 4th is next week. How about songs to celebrate our Freedom or American Pride? I will start with one of my favs- Rockin’ in the Free World by Neil Young

[DarcyFarrow]

I Wanna Be Free (Monkees)

[BeatleloverKT]

Rockin’ in the free world    Neil Young

[DarcyFarrow]

The New Land (John Denver)

We have this dream - America,
A vision bright and clear.
In the freedom we are seeking,
We have planted ourselves here.

[DarcyFarrow]

American Child (John Denver)

American Child, does the call of the wild
Ever sing through the mist of your dreams
Does it fly with the wind when you waken again
When it's gone do you know what it means

[DarcyFarrow]

Hands that Built America (U2)

[DarcyFarrow]

John Denver's "Matthew" feels very American to me:  Kansas farms, family, hard work
