Celtic Woman - O, America!

GIven what is transpiring in Congress today, maybe we should all take a pause as Congress has embarked on the most politically divisive action against the President of the United States and OUR CONSTITUTION!!! So much is wrong with this Politically Charged action!
Perhaps this song by Celtic WOman will bring a few things back to reality. The song is titled O, America!

"O, America! was written by IMRO member, Brendan Graham and American composer and pianist, William Joseph.

The Irish songwriter first heard the strains of the melody in the corridor of an LA hotel – and then heard it again later, at a showcase by William Joseph, hosted by multi-Grammy winning producer, David Foster.

”I instantly fell in love with the melody – called Sweet Remembrance of You”, Graham remembers, ”and William generously gave me permission to try to find words to it”.

The idea that it should be an anthem to America came to Graham, when listening to the melody, while driving from Dublin to Mayo, the day after he got back to Ireland."

LYRICS:

O, America you're calling,
I can hear you calling me,
You are calling me to be true to thee,
True to thee I will be.

O, America no weeping,
Let me heal your wounded heart.
I will keep you in my keeping,
Till there be, a new start.

And I will answer you, and I will take your hand,
And lead you to the sun
And I will stand by you, do all that I can do,
And we will be as one.

O, America I hear you,
From your prairies to the sea,
From your mountains grand, and all through this land,
You are beautiful to me.

And, O, America you're calling,
I can hear you calling me,
You are calling me to be true to thee,
True to thee, I will be.

And I will answer you, and I will take your hand,
And lead you, to the sun
And I will stand by you, do all that I can do,
And we will be, as one

O, America you're calling,
I will ever answer thee.
