"My Country 'Tis Of Thee"


Someone explain to me kindly
Why we've accepted blindly
The phrase 'tis of thee
What its' meaning may be

I was given this one clue
It possibly means "It is of you"
But forget about a lyric in that lieu
Imagine singing 'My country it is of you'

So forever it will be
"My country 'tis of thee"
For 'tis of thee', no rearrangin'
Without a doubt, there'll be no changin'

One that makes me think: '' My country right or wrong ''. Witch reminds me of none Jews who made desitans , that brayde there country , but help to overthrow Hitler. One that is in my mind. Is of a Luftwaffe crew member took control of a airplane. Armde with a gun , made the piolet fly to England so the British could have the latest German invenshan that was being instald on Luftwaffe airplanes. Was his country wrong , but the crew member right?
