I know when times are tough and money's rough
We all complain
But you won't appreciate a sunny day
Without a little rain

There's one thing I can guarantee
There ain't another place that I would rather be

So I will sing
And let it ring
Let the whole world know
I'm not giving up this dream for anything

'Cause I love my country
And that's one thing they'll never take from me
In the land of the free

Cost of living is on the rise, and we criticize
The ones who lead the way
Oh but far and wide there's still so much pride
And that's how it's gonna stay

Yeah there are times we disagree
But there ain't another place we would rather be

So we will sing
And let it ring
Let the whole world know
We're not giving up this dream for anything

'Cause we love our country
And they can't take that away from you and me
In the land of the free

So raise that flag up high
To those who gave their lives
For liberty

So we will sing
And let it ring
Let the whole world know
We're not giving up this dream for anything
(In the land of the free)

'Cause we love our country
We thank our lucky stars and stripes to be
In the land of the free
Free
(Of the free)
In the land of the free yeah
In the land (of the free)
