A song for the victims of 9/11
Singer Beyoncé has found a way in music to help the families of victims of the 2001 terrorist attack


When she appeared on an American TV show on May 5, singer Beyoncé
 moved millions of Americans by singing a song in honor of the victims of the 2001 attack on the Twin Towers. She sang "God Bless the USA," a song written by American, Lee Greenwood. The world's biggest pop star announced that all money raised from sales of the song will be donated to the families of people who were killed or injured in the attack. Beyoncé Giselle Knowles was born in Houston and is married to musician Jay-Z.  On September 4 she will turn 30 years old. In late June Beyoncé will release her fourth solo album, called simply "4." Her first three albums sold an amazing 75 million copies.  Below Maganews brings you the lyric of the song, "God Bless the USA".

God Bless the USA – Lee Greenwood



If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
with just my family by my side
I'd thank my lucky stars
to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away.

And I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the USA


From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas
from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.,
well There's pride in every American heart
and it's time we stand and say:

that I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the USA

And I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the USA
