Recording Artist Pat Boone Wonders, America? Where did You Go?
WHERE DID AMERICA GO?
“I’m desperately worried about our country. We’re so divided. We’re no longer one nation under God. People are so quick to condemn each other; if you hold certain beliefs and others disagree, you’re often considered crooked, crazy, and wrong,” reveals Pat. “America must come back together – to be America – again!” Concerned for our nation, he wrote and recorded a new song, Where Did America Go?, which, in the first three weeks after its July release, received over 6.3 million views on social media. The song expresses a longing for the nation to return to the biblical principles set forth in the Constitution as the framework for American life. These principles have sustained America for 248 years. His song is both a wake-up call and a call to action for Americans everywhere. Below are the lyrics:

Where did America go? The land of the brave and the free Can one generation Erase a nation Cause we can’t find the way to agree Cause we can’t find the way to agree
Where has America gone? Where are Abraham, Martin and John? We drowned out their voices And gave up our choices Do we have the strength to move on? Do we have the strength to move on?
O God of Sweet Liberty Help us and heal us again If we fall on our knees Will You still hear our pleas? Take us back to where we were then Take us back to where we were then
How could America fail? We gave up our own Holy Grail |
How could America fail? We gave up our own Holy Grail That old Constitution Still holds the solution But we gave up our freedoms for sale Yes. We gave up our freedoms for sale
Can America still rise again? Find our way back to where we were then? Yes, that old Family Bible Still holds our survival It spells out the way we can win Yes. It spells out the way we can win
O God of Sweet Liberty Please help us and heal us again If we fall on our knees Will You still hear our pleas? Take us back to where we were then Take us back to where we were then
America, where did you go?

PAT’S INFO.
Pat has sold 45 million records worldwide, has 13 gold singles, two gold albums and a platinum album. He has recorded over 2,300 songs more than any recording artist in recorded music history (Frank Sinatra recorded 1.500). Pat had forty-one chart hits in the 1950s – one more than Elvis Presley. His most notable smashes included the No. 1 records Don’t Forbid Me, Love Letters in the Sand and April Love, all three issued in 1957. He also starred in 15 movies and has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2003, Pat was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Other ventures: he owned the Oakland Oaks basketball team in 1969, made the biggest deal in the history of the ABC network program, Shark Tank, a few years ago for the American rights to the Air Car and started Mercy Corps, in his home, now a half billion dollar a year nonprofit humanitarian organization.
He married his high school sweetheart, Shirley Foley when they were nineteen and attended college together. They had four daughters and were married sixty-five years before her death in 2019. “We lived a wonderful, blessed life together. I’ve parted with my better half for a little while…but we don’t die, we just move on to another place.”
At 90, Pat is still very active. “As for now,” he says, “I may not have much time left, realistically. But I’m still busy, healthy, singing and swimming – and I want God to use every inch of me for His pleasure and purposes. And I’m trying, as I always have, to bring as many other people to Heaven with me as I can.”
