A Timeless Song for the Nation's 250th
One People Under God was written to belong to no single season. As the United States marks its 250th anniversary in 2026, the song speaks the oldest American conviction in a fresh voice: that before our differences, our borders, and our politics, we are one people under God. It is built to be played on the Fourth of July, and to mean as much on the Fourth of July a generation from now.

About the Song & Artist
One People Under God was written and produced by Joseph David Murphy under the artist name SayItWithASong through the independent label Say It With A Song.
The song was written during a season of recovery, reflection, and gratitude. Its message endures beyond any one year: before differences, borders, and politics, we are one people created by God.
The lyric "my heart still beating" comes from Joseph's personal experience: a heart attack in 2024, recovery, moving to Florida, and a second heart attack in January 2025. This inspired renewed gratitude for life, family, and faith.
Joseph was born in Toronto, Canada, spent seven years in Mexico, eight years in Texas, and became an American citizen in 2024. His Jamaican neighbors in Avon Park, Florida, inspired this song's spirit of unity. As an immigrant who chose this country, he offers the song to the nation in its 250th year.
SayItWithASong is the artist name of Joseph David Murphy, creating songs of love, life, and meaning through the label Say It With A Song.
