America Is My Country

 

AMERICA IS MY COUNTRY

 

TO THIS AMAZING COUNTRY, LAND OF THE FREE AND THE BRAVE

I CAME WHEN I WAS LITTLE, A BETTER LIFE TO FIND

FROM POVERTY AND TYRANTS I FINALLY FEEL SAFE

GOD AND MY EFFORTS HELPED ME LEAVE MY OLD LIFE BEHIND

 

IT WELCOMES ALL THE PEOPLE WHO FOR THEIR FREEDOM YEARN

AND MANY, MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE LITTLE TO EAT

AS SOON AS HERE WE SETTLE, WE HAVE A CHANCE TO LEARN

THAT WITH A MIGHTY EFFORT, LIFE HERE WILL BE A TREAT

 

AMERICA, AMERICA, I’M PROUD TO CALL YOU HOME

AMERICA, AMERICA, THE PLACE I CALL MY OWN

I’M FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY BUT HERE IS WHERE I’VE GROWN

AMERICA IS THE COUNTRY WHERE MY ROOTS I HAVE SOWN

 

AS SOON AS WE ARE ABLE, ITS VASTNESS WE CAN SEE

ITS BEAUTY AND ITS BOUNTY FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA

SEEING ALL THESE BOUNDLESS TREASURES, WE SOON ARE MADE AWARE

THAT WE CAN CALL THEM OURS, FOR ALL OF THEM WE SHARE

 

AMERICAN, THEY CALL ME AND I FEEL VERY PROUD

BEING A SON OF THIS COUNTRY MAKES ME STAND VERY TALL

THANKFUL FOR ALL ITS BOUNTY, I FEEL THE NEED TO SHOUT

“LONG LIVE THE GREATEST COUNTRY AND MAY IT NEVER FALL!”

 

AMERICA, AMERICA, I’M PROUD TO CALL YOU HOME

AMERICA, AMERICA, THE PLACE I CALL MY OWN

I’M FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY BUT HERE IS WHERE I’VE GROWN

AMERICA IS MY COUNTRY AND HERE MY ROOTS I’VE SOWN
