The song "God Bless America," written by Irving Berlin in 1918 and revised in 1938, is protected by copyright law. In the United States, works published before 1978 are protected for 95 years from their publication date. Therefore, "God Bless America" will enter the public domain in 2034, 95 years after its first publication.
