Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What is America to me?
A name, a map, a flag I see
A certain word, democracy
What is America to me?
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
A place I work in
Worker by my side
A little town or city
Where my people lived and died
The howdy and the handshake
The air, a feeling free
And the right to speak my mind out
That's America to me
[Verse 4]
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
And the dream that's been a-growing
For a hundred and eighty years
[Verse 5]
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 me
Written by: Earl Robinson, Lewis Allan
