I spy something blue

Yesterday, I saw my first bluebonnets of the season in Memorial Park.

At the risk of somebody referring to me as the "Real Men Of Genius" ad's "Too Proud of Texas Guy," let me lead us all in our national anthem.

All together now ...

Texas, our Texas! All hail the mighty State!
Texas, our Texas! So wonderful so great!
Boldest and grandest, Withstanding ev'ry test;
O Empire wide and glorious, You stand supremely blest.

[Refrain]
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, Thro'out the ages long.

Texas, O Texas! Your freeborn single star,
Sends out its radiance to nations near and far.
Emblem of freedom! It sets our hearts aglow,
With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.

[Refrain]
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, Thro'out the ages long.


Texas, dear Texas! From tyrant grip now free,
Shines forth in splendor your star of destiny!
Mother of heroes! We come your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.

[Refrain]
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, Thro'out the ages long.

We sing our state song for one full month each school year during the morning announcements. I think it's great because it means children actually learn it!
