Pennsylvania
Written and
Composed by
Eddie Khoury and Ronnie Bonner
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.
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, 1980
