Lyrics
The American Legion Song
For God and country, we associate ourselves together
These are the first words in the American Legion Preamble
To recognize the guiding of the Almighty in every single endeavor
It's a sure bet for all Americans, and not just a shoddy gamble
It all starts first with building a good community
To stand with the right, protect the weak, and the freedoms of all people alike
And to maintain pride and service, with never ending unity
To preserve the Constutution with the fortitude of General Ike
(Chorus)
The American Legion embraces those that fought all wars
The American Legion helps heal their battle scars
The American Legion remembers those who sacrificed on all shores
The American Legion stands to cofirm what's yours is yours
(Inst)
(Bridge)
It goes on never ending, there is no
immunity
Safeguarding the principles of justice and democracy
To make sure each person gets an equal opportunity
And to live a fulfilled life of total integrity
(To Chorus)
The American Legion embraces those that fought all wars
The American Legion helps heal their battle scars
The American Legion remembers those who sacrificed on all shores
The American Legion stands to confirm what's yours is yours
