I will be a responsible American citizen

because I love this country that we are living in.

I will be a responsible American citizen

because I love this country that we are living in.

Responsible citizens pay their taxes.

Responsible citizens serve in the armed forces,

if they are called.

13 Colonies (Thirteen Colonies)

[Chorus]

Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen,

thirteen colonies.

Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen,

thirteen colonies.

Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina

Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania

Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen,

thirteen colonies.

 

[Verse 1]

In the north, it’s cold, where the winters are tough,

Massachusetts and New York, they had it rough.

Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire too,

Building homes and towns with a hardworking crew!

In the middle, there’s farming and fields of green,

Delaware, New Jersey, and in between—

Pennsylvania and New York, growing wheat so high,

With busy towns and rivers where the boats go by!

 

[Chorus]

Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen,

thirteen colonies.

Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen,

thirteen colonies.

New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island

New Hampshire, Massachusetts

Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen,

thirteen colonies.

 

[Verse 3]

In the south, it’s warm, with plantations to see,

Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia make three.

Maryland joins with tobacco and more,

Life by the ocean, on the sandy shore!

Each colony was different, but they stood as one,

Working together till the revolution was won!

From thirteen to fifty, we’ve grown so wide,

But it all began with their strength and pride!

 

[Chorus]

Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen,

thirteen colonies.

Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, thirteen,

thirteen colonies.

NC State Capital

[Chorus]

Raleigh, Raleigh, here we stand.

A city full of history, love for our land.

Raleigh, Raleigh, we’re here to stay,

As North Carolina’s capitol, love this state!

 

[Verse 1]

Once upon a time, our capital wasn’t here.

It started in New Bern, by the river there.

A growing state needed more, a central place to meet,

So they searched for somewhere new, a spot that felt complete.

In 1792, the decision was made,

to move the capital, and plans were laid.

Raleigh was chosen for its central spot.

Named for Sir Walter Raleigh, a man who meant a lot.

 

[Chorus]

Raleigh, Raleigh, here we stand.

A city full of history, love for our land.

Raleigh, Raleigh, we’re here to stay,

As North Carolina’s capitol, love this state!

 

[Verse 2]

New Bern was lovely, by the riverside,

but Raleigh’s location helped the state unite.

Closer for the people, no matter where they’re from.

A place where all can gather, and work can get done!

So now you know the story of Raleigh and its fame,

A capital with purpose, that proudly shares its name.

From New Bern to Raleigh, our state found its way,

And Raleigh stands tall, still leading us today!

 

[Chorus]

Raleigh, Raleigh, here we stand.

A city full of history, love for our land.

Raleigh, Raleigh, we’re here to stay,

As North Carolina’s capitol, love this state!

NC Minerals

[Chorus]

North Carolina’s ground is full of treasure, can’t you see?

Feldspar, Mica, Emerald, and Granite, shining brightly!

From the mountains to the coast, our minerals are the best,

North Carolina’s riches put us to the test!

 

[Verse 1]

Feldspar’s here, it’s in the clay, helping us make plates.

It’s found in all the shiny tiles we use to decorate.

Mica sparkles in the sun, it flakes and shines so bright,

We use it in electronics, it’s a mineral that’s just right!

Emeralds green and glowing, rare gems for all to see,

In the hills of Hiddenite, they sparkle brilliantly.

Granite is our solid rock, for buildings and for roads,

It gives our state the strength we need, it helps us bear the loads!

 

[Chorus]

North Carolina’s ground is full of treasure, can’t you see?

Feldspar, Mica, Emerald, and Granite, shining brightly!

From the mountains to the coast, our minerals are the best,

North Carolina’s riches put us to the test!

 

[Bridge]

From deep within the earth, these treasures show their worth,

Shaping all our lives, they come from North Carolina’s dirt.

Digging, mining, shining, our state’s so full of pride,

With these minerals, our history will never hide!

 

[Chorus]

North Carolina’s ground is full of treasure, can’t you see?

Feldspar, Mica, Emerald, and Granite, shining brightly!

From the mountains to the coast, our minerals are the best,

North Carolina’s riches put us to the test!

The Constitution

[Chorus]
What is the Constitution?
It’s the highest law of our land, you see!
What is the Constitution?
It’s the guide for you and me!
All our laws come from its words,
That’s how our rights are always heard.
All our laws come from its words,
That’s how our rights are always heard.

 

(Verse 1]
The Constitution builds our government, step by step, you know it’s true!
It gives us leaders like the president, Congress, and the courts we use.
Each state has its own set of laws to guide its people every day,
but the U.S. Constitution is the highest, it leads the way!

In 1787, the framers made their plan, they made their plan.
George Washington, Ben Franklin, and others shaped this land.
They added amendments to protect our rights, so we’d be free.
And the government must follow them—it’s the law for you and me!

 

[Chorus]
What is the Constitution?
It’s the highest law of our land, you see!
What is the Constitution?
It’s the guide for you and me!
All our laws come from its words,
That’s how our rights are always heard.
All our laws come from its words,
That’s how our rights are always heard.

 

[Verse 2]
The Bill of Rights came later, it’s the first ten amendments we know.
The Bill of Rights came later, it’s the first ten amendments we know.
Added in 1791 to help our freedoms grow!
Added in 1791 to help our freedoms grow!
Thousands of changes were proposed, but only 27 were passed.
Thousands of changes were proposed, but only 27 were passed.
The Constitution stands the test of time, its strength will always last!
The Constitution stands the test of time, its strength will always last!

 

[Chorus]
What is the Constitution?
It’s the highest law of our land, you see!
What is the Constitution?
It’s the guide for you and me!
All our laws come from its words,
That’s how our rights are always heard.
All our laws come from its words,
That’s how our rights are always heard.
