Our Nation (song)

Lyrics

Down where the river meets the bay,
There's a little state that leads the way,
From Wilmington down to Rehoboth shore,
Delaware's got something more.

Oh, Delaware, First State to shine,
You were there at the signing line,
Small in size but big in heart,
You gave this nation its start,
Delaware, you're always on my mind.

Dover's got that history deep,
Where the Constitution's promises we keep,
Tax-free shopping, sandy beaches wide,
There's a simple beauty we can't hide.

Oh, Delaware, First State to shine,
You were there at the signing line,
Small in size but big in heart,
You gave this nation its start,
Delaware, you're always on my mind.

Three small counties standing strong,
Blue hens singing their state song,
From the corporations to the farmland green,
You're the finest state I've ever seen.

Oh, Delaware, First State to shine,
December seventeen eighty-seven was your time,
Small in size but big in heart,
You gave this nation's start,
Delaware, First State of mind.
