What is america to me A name, a map, or a flag I see A certain word, democracy What is america to me
The house I live in A plot of earth, a street The grocer and the butcher And the people that I meet
The children in the playground The faces that I see All races and religions That's america to me
The place I work in The worker by my side The little town or city Where my people lived and died
The howdy and the handshake The air of feeling free And the right to speak my mind out That's america to me
The things I see about me The big things and the small The little corner newsstand And the house a mile tall
The wedding and the churchyard The laughter and the tears The dream that's been a growing For a hundred and fifty years
The town I live in The street, the house, the room The pavement of the city Or a garden all in bloom
The church the school the clubhouse The million lights I see But especially the people That's america to meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
