Song Description

"Happy 250th to This Land" is a sweeping, celebratory tribute to the United States on the occasion of its 250th anniversary. Rather than focusing primarily on political history, monuments, or military achievement, the song honors the nation through the grandeur of its natural landscapes. It presents America as a vast, living work of art, stretching from the rocky shores of Maine to the rainforests and sea stacks of the Pacific Northwest.

The song unfolds like a musical journey across the country, visiting five iconic national parks: Acadia, Great Smoky Mountains, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Olympic. Each location represents a different region, atmosphere, and expression of the American wilderness. Together, these landscapes form a portrait of a country united not only by borders and history, but also by shared beauty, wonder, and responsibility.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In Acadia's embrace, where the sun first kisses the land 

The ocean whispers softly and waves caress the sand

Beneath the endless sky, where eagles dare to soar

Nature's song begins, echoing across the rocky shore

[Chorus]

So happy two fiftieth, to this land that's still free 

From Atlantic to Pacific, we are one in unity 

We all rejoice in this land we proudly stand 

Together we rise... 

...Hand in hand...

[Verse 2]

In the Great Smokies' gentle fog, where ancient hills reside 

A symphony of waterfalls sings a song they cannot hide 

Through the misty mornings, where shadows softly creep 

Nature tells her story in the secrets that she keeps

[Breakdown]

(Instrumental saxophone solo)

[Chorus]

So happy two fiftieth, to this land that's still free 

From Atlantic to Pacific, we are one in unity 

We all rejoice in this land we proudly stand 

Together we rise... 

...Hand in hand...

[Verse 3]

Into Grand Canyon's depths, where silence holds its own 

A timeless masterpiece unfolds, in the earth it's shown 

Painted rocks of splendor, under skies so grand 

Nature's finest canvas, carved by an unseen hand

[Bridge]

In this land we cherish, where dreams take flight 

We honor our past with love as our guiding light

[Verse 4]

Yellowstone slumbers, where geysers touch the sky 

Bison thunder across the plains, under watchful eyes 

And worlds of wonder wait in each meadow's dance 

Where nature's vibrant palette lives in every glance

[Final Chorus: choir of back-up singers]

So happy two fiftieth, to this land that's still free 

From Atlantic to Pacific, we are one in unity 

We all rejoice in this land we proudly stand 

Together we rise... 

...Hand in hand...

[Verse 5]

In the Olympics' shadow, where temperate rainforests rise

And snow-covered mountain peaks scrape the skies

The windswept Pacific carves away at the land

Where spruce-covered islands and sea stacks stand

[Outro: Instrumental to fade]
