I remember my family going to an Up With People concert when I was very young. This particular video UWP performance was from 1965. It'd be nice if Donald Trump could work something like this into his rallies starting next month. The songs are patriotic, spirit-filled and very inspiring! It'd even be way too cool to get together some of the original cast members too!

My mom played UWP albums all the time.
Pretty cheesy stuff, but I still remember the songs, like "The Old Man and the Boy".
In 2021, it would seem creepy, but in the '70s is was quite wholesome.

Well, that’s different.
I’d go for it.
I’m not inhibited by the “cheesy wholesomeness”. People have let 50 years of (San Fran hippie) hard rock turn them against anything that doesn’t have an “edge”.

“Freedom Isn’t Free” is pretty good.

Freedom Isn’t Free
Freedom isn’t free! Freedom isn’t free!
You’ve got to pay a price,
You’ve got to sacrifice
For your liberty.
Freedom is a word often heard today,
But if you want to keep it there’s a price to pay.
Each generation’s got to win it anew,
‘Cause it’s not something handed down to you.
Freedom isn’t free! … etc.
There was a gen’ral by the name of George,
With a small band of men at Valley Forge,
Left the comfort of home for the snow and ice,
They won independence ’cause they paid the price.
Freedom isn’t free! … etc.
For some people freedom is a waving flag,
To do your own thing is another man’s bag,
But for ev’ry man freedom’s the eternal quest.
You’re free to give humanity your very best.
Freedom isn’t free! … etc.

THE RIDE OF PAUL REVERE
They saw two lanterns in the North Church tower,
Ride, Ride
They knew this was to be the fateful hour
Ride, Ride
For a man to ride and to alarm
Ev’ry village and ev’ry farm
To awaken them and call to arm,
It was the ride of Paul Revere!
Chorus Ride! Ride! Tho’ the night be cold.
Ride! Ride! Till the truth be told!
Ride! Ride! Like that man of old!
Ride like Paul Revere!
In seventy five upon an April night,
Ride! Ride!
The air was chilly and the moon shone bright.
Ride! Ride!
They rowed him past the man-of-war
Landed on the Charlestown shore,
Where the finest steed was ready for,
The ride of Paul Revere!
Chorus
I wonder if, two hundred years ahead,
Ride! Ride!
If they will ride, or if they’ll stay in bed.
Ride! Ride!
When faith and freedom within them die,
And when they hear that midnight cry
And the hoof-beats cross the moonlit sky,
Will they ride with Paul Revere?
Ride with Paul Revere!

There were some terrific tunes from that era, many were one hit wonders, like Nobody knows where my Rosemary Goes, Tracy, etc.

Which Way America?
Which way America? Which way America? Which way America?
Which way to go?
This is my country, and
I want to know
Which way America is going to go
For there is many a chore before us
Many a choice to make
I'm gonna ask the Lord above
To show me the road to take
Which way America? Which way America? Which way America?
Which way to go?
This is my country, and
I want to know
Which way America is going to go.
For there is many a road before us
Many a hill to climb
I'm gonna find the brightest road
And walk it til the end of time.
Which way America? Which way America? Which way America?
Which way to go?
This is my country, and
I want to know
Which way America is going to go.
Which way America is - going to go.
