COLLECTORS SPECIAL EDITION

A SONG ABOUT AMERICA!

In Memory Of Those Who Lost Their Lives and Loved Ones on September 11, 2001

A Commemorative CD

~Wherever public spirit prevails liberty is secure~

Noah Webster (1758-1843)  

It is through this spirit of liberty and to all who have immigrated to America that we dedicate

"America Our Country, America Our Home." 

Composers, Ron & Maryann Sfarzo were born and raised in San Francisco, CA. Ron, a Police Officer for the City of Menlo Park, CA, is also a musician/arranger/composer. Maryann, a singer/lyricist, has been writing lyrics to Ron's music for over 20 years. They are members of BMI and perform together throughout the Bay Area.

 "America Our Country, America Our Home" was written in the traditional manner found on Track #2 "The Song"and Track #3 "The Melody"; however, you will discover an entirely new sound and feeling to this wonderful American Anthem on Track #1 "The Production", arranged and performed by Trent Gardner of Magellan

 We hope you enjoy "America Our Country, America Our Home," a tribute to all that is good in this great land we call home.

LYRICS
We've traveled here from many lands, to find our promise of gold
What we found was a country rich with love and freedom untold
Through the storms, through the fires, we remain inspired.
For our hopes and our dreams will never, never die.
 
Chorus:
America Our Country, America Our Home
We will stand together, We are not alone.
Love and Peace to guide us
God is here beside us
America Our Country, America Our Home.
 
Second Verse:
Through troubled times we gather near, to lend a helping hand.
It maybe just a word a smile, knowing someone understands.
This land that we have chosen, is rich but not with gold.
With Love, Hope and Promise, of Freedom Untold.
 
  Ending:
America Our Country, America Our Home
We will stand together, we are not alone.
Love and Peace to guide us,
God is here beside us.
America Our Country, America Our Home.
