We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

Hail to the Chief - Sung

An article on the CNN website entitled, "Why 'Hail to the Chief' remains unsung," notes that the tune "Hail to the Chief" actually has lyrics although they are rarely sung.  Working on the principle that we can find almost anything on Youtube, I went and looked—and sure enough, there is a sung version of "Hail to the Chief."  In honor of President Obama's second inauguration, here it is.  Enjoy.



The Lyrics are:

Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all.
Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation
In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.
Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
This you will do, that's our strong, firm belief.
Hail to the one we selected as commander,
Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!

God bless the USA!
