歌词
John Philip Sousa came back to earth one day;
约翰 菲利普 苏萨（此曲的作者）重回尘世；
He looked around at what he found here,
他望向了身边的一切，
All the contradictions that abound here,
周围的矛盾比比皆是，
Good surviving, evil thriving, everything in disarray...
生活美好，恶贯满盈，一切处在混乱中...
With frown and mouth turned upside down,
他皱着眉头嘴角下垂，
He said: This'll never do! Dead level never do!
说到：这不可能！这绝不可能！
Don't they know to show some pride in who they are?
难道他们不知道要为自己的身份而感到骄傲？
The pioneers of former years
在百余年前那些先锋
Were not without their doubts and woes and fears,
他们并非是无所畏惧，
But they know well the love of God would never let them go astray!
只因他们深知上帝的爱才不会误入歧途！
But here today where there's no fear
但今天不再有那些
Of dark in the wilderness, some are in wilderness.
对荒野的恐惧，对黑暗的恐惧。
They must shift and lift their gaze to some new star.
我们必须要为人们树立一些新的榜样。
By a star in the east the least of men
东方一颗明星（指耶稣基督）降临尘世
Once were succoured in time of needing,
在危难之时将人们拯救，
For the star promised peace to those in pain,
向苦难中的人们允诺和平，
And from Galilee was westwardly proceeding.
并从加利利向西不断前行。
With the star of the West the best of men
西方之星号上一声枪响（西方之星号打响了美国内战第一枪）
Now are siding in their endeavor
勇敢的人民们竭尽全力
To restore as of yore their country's pride
在星条旗的荣光之下
In the glory of the stars and stripes forever.
重拾祖国昔日的骄傲。
Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue,
