Lee Greenwood, hope you don't mind

Sorry, not funny but, thus bothered me....

Across town, we had a little boy wander from his home in the middle of the night this week. The whole town searched for an hour in the morning, and they found him a couple blocks away, laying near some woods. They don't know what happened, and, thank God, so far it doesn't look like anybody did anything. The whole town stood by each other, and the poor family. I was so proud of the community, that, Lee Greenwood, I've taken some liberties and changed the words to your song "Proud to be an American", and shared it on the community web pag.

If tomorrow
someone asked me,
What I thought of
where I live.

Haddon Township's
Full of people,
With extra love and
Hope to give.

I'd thank my luck stars,
to be living here today,
Cause the town all got together
In the most amazing way.

And I'm proud to live
in my home town,
Cause when that
Young boy died.
We stood together,
Hand in hand and
wiped our tears,
we cried.
And I'd gladly stand up
Next to you,
A stranger,
Hold on tight.
Cause there ain't no doubt
This tragedy,
Changed us overnight

From Graisbury,
To Cuthbert,
To Haddon Avenue.
From Greenman road,
To South Park Drive
Locust avenue.

Newton Creek too,
Across the Pike,
To Berwick,
Yeah, it's true.

Where there's pride
In every one of our hearts,
And it's time to stand and say
That Haddon Township
Though it's huge,
This nightmare
Made us tight.
We gathered
In a group for him,
To burn the candle lights,
Those who couldn't be there,
Well they,
made their feelings known,
On every doorstep round the town,
Lights and candles shone.

And I'm proud to live
in my home town,
Cause when that
Young boy died,
We stood together,
Hand in hand and
wiped our tears,
we cried.
And I'd gladly stand up
Next to you,
A stranger
Hugging me,
We sent that angel
on his way,
God bless that family.
