The more I read the papers,
The less I comprehend
The world and all its capers
And how it all will end

Nothing seems to be lasting
But that isn't our affair
We have something permanent
I mean in the way we care

Of Thee I Sing, baby
Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby
You're my silver lining
You're my sky of blue
There's a lovelight shining
Just because of you

Of thee I sing, baby
You have got that certain thing, baby
Shining star and inspiration
Worthy of a mighty nation
Of thee I sing
