O' Beautiful (Now)
by Clarence (Sonny) White O' beautiful Her unmatched beauty cries for love She experienced in the past Continual and freely given The kind of love that lasts To those she loved, she yielded all And did without complaint With no discrimination Be they sinner or a Saint They crossed oceans to be with her Swam rivers, risked their lives Taking all she had to offer Leaving her to be revived But, takers were always takers Never willing to give Stripping her of material things Not caring if she lived Great, due to respect and love of God And thus being her fame Now plagued by those who forbid The mention of his name They sought to destroy the values That made her strong and great Wanting everything right now Unwilling to work and wait Ravaged and severely beaten down She teeters on the brink While takers cry for more and more America continues to sink Accountability gone long ago They want rules to reflect their say Having never worked or contributed They would ruin the U.S.A.. For those who have made her great And over her land have trod Pray with me, again we'll see "One Nation Under God" ( C ) January 20, 2009 Clarence "Sonny" White Clarence "Sonny" White was born in Covington, Tennessee moving to Illinois at the age of 17.
