You may have thought it was the Pennsylvania Polka or even Pennsylvania 6-5000, but it isn't. The State Song of Pennsylvania is the aptly named "Pennsylvania." It became the state song in 1990. Words and Music are by Eddie Khoury and Ronnie Bonner.
Pennsylvania
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.
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.
Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania,
May your future be,
filled with honor everlasting
as your history.
That is a great song. Great sentiment. Great meaning.
I leave it at that.
