I'm from Mississippi, an American I'm proud to be.
It hurts straight to my heart all the suffering I have seen.
The spirit of the south will rise better than before,
With the help from the whole world, We'll be back that's for sure.
The south will rise again,
There'll be music and joy once more.
Southern Hospitality found at every door
Feel the world's concern and love, God is on your side.
Trust our Lord, hold your faith and keep your spirits high.
We'll work to rebuild our cities, together both white and black,
We are all proud Americans, and yes, we will be back.
The South will rise again
There'll be music and joy once more.
Southern Hospitality found at every door.
