Pennsylvania
Written and Composed by
Eddie Khoury and Ronnie Bonner
The official state song of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was adopted by the General Assembly and signed
into law by Governor Robert P. Casey on November 29, 1990.
Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,
Mighty is your name,
Steeped in glory and tradition,
Object of acclaim,
Where brave men fought the foe of freedom,
Tyranny decried,
'Til the bell of independence filled the countryside.Chorus
Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,
May your future be filled with honor everlasting as your history.Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,
Blessed by God's own hand,
Birthplace of a mighty nation,
Keystone of the land.
Where first our country's flag unfolded,
Freedom to proclaim,
May the voices of tomorrow glorify your name.Chorus
Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,
May your future be filled with honor everlasting as your history.
