words and music by Irving Berlin [1] |
God bless America, one of our unofficial national |
|
anthems, was written by Irving Berlin, an |
God bless America, land that I love |
immigrant whose family came from Byelorussia |
Stand beside her and guide her |
to America when he was only five years old. |
Through the night with the light from above |
It was originally written during the summer |
|
of 1918 at Camp Upton, Yaphank, Long Island, |
From the mountains to the prairies |
New York, intended for his Ziegfeld-style revue, |
To the oceans white with foam |
“Yip, Yip, Yaphank”, but not used in that show. |
God bless America, my home sweet home |
In 1938, as war was again threatening in Europe, |
|
he recalled his “God Bless America” from |
From the mountains to the prairies |
twenty years earlier, and made some alterations |
To the oceans white with foam |
to reflect the different state of the world. |
God bless America, my home sweet home |
Kate Smith introduced the revised song during |
God bless America, my home sweet home! |
her radio broadcast on Armistice Day, 1938. [2] |
