Days ahead of the much-anticipated 250th anniversary celebration, President Trump-inspired musician Jon Kahn has released a powerful anthem celebrating the people who built our country.
According to Breitbart, Kahn, a singer known for working with members of Creed, the Foo Fighters, and The Wallflowers, reached out to Michael Farren, a popular songwriter from Nashville, to create a song about the people who built this country and “made something beautiful and still make it beautiful.” Together, they created the song titled The United Saints of America and hoped that the song would carry an understanding of this exciting 250th celebration.
This isn’t the first time Kahn has created a song that resonates with patriotic citizens. His song Fighter was embraced by President Trump on social media and even used in his rallies.
On his Instagram account, Farren had shared this about the song: “I think about the epic lines in America the Beautiful, and I get teary-eyed every single time. But pressing in a little further, you realize that the beauty of our nation’s landscape pales in comparison to what truly makes it great…the people.”
The lyrics pay tribute to the hands that work hard to build this country:
It’s the shoulders of people
from a thousand lands
Who showed up with nothing
But dreams in their hands
And built something beautiful
Yeah, hey still make it beautiful
Kahn and Farren also pay tribute to the people who work hard to provide for the nation:
We’ve got farmers on tractor that keep us all fed
The north and south
The blue and the red
They make something beautiful
Man those colors are beautiful
Both singers also addressed the negativity from naysayers who have criticized the event or decided not to join. Breitbart reported that Kahn said, “It saddens me to see people trying to undermine America 250. But it also makes me proud in a very interesting way because there is no other country that gives its citizens the rights we enjoy every day, and yet some take for granted.”
He added, “Now, that being said, Americans won’t let haters tear down America 250.”
