PATRIOTIC SONG: ‘American Fire in Our Soul’

This is the second patriotic song. I am still looking for a good composer and a fabulous singer. If you know of any, please get in touch with me. Thank you.

American Fire in Our Soul

Song written by Amil Imani

(Intro – Sparse instrumentation, building tension)

Redwood giants scrape the sky (whisper)
Oceans roar a restless cry (louder)
Prairie winds sing freedom’s song (soft)
Mountains hold where giants belong (louder)

(Verse 1 – Driving beat)

Concrete jungle, city’s heart (fast)
Melting pot, a work of art (slower)
Stars and stripes, a dream unfurled (fast)
From revolution, a new world (slower)

(Chorus – Soaring melody)

Oh, America, a land so vast (powerful)
From etched-in history to future cast (slower)
Equality, justice, a burning desire (fast)
In every heart, a patriot’s fire (slower)

(Verse 2 – Bluesy feel)

Dustbowl whispers of hardship’s hold (slow)
Civil rights march, a story told (faster)
Silicon dreams in neon haze (slow)
Can we learn from the echoes of yesterday’s maze? (faster)

(Chorus – Soaring melody)

Oh, America, a land unfurled (powerful)
From mountains high to oceans swirled (slower)
A melting pot, a fiery test (fast)
We rise, we fall, but freedom’s the quest! (slower)

(Bridge – Spoken word, building intensity)

We are the pilgrims, the slaves set free (spoken)
The cowboys, the dreamers, by the boundless sea (spoken)
Can we bridge the canyons and mend what’s torn? (spoken with rising intensity)
The land of opportunity, forever reborn (spoken with emphasis)

(Chorus – Full band, triumphant melody)

Oh, America, a paradox in bloom (powerful)
A restless spirit, forever in a room (slower)
We fight, we love, a chaotic ballet (fast)

We’ll mend the cracks and find a brighter day! (slower, building to a powerful finish)
