This is America to me.
God bless us, everyone.
In case the video doesn't work,
here are the words to this masterpiece.
What is America to me?A name, a map, a flag I seeA certain word, democracyWhat is America to me?
The house I live inA plot of earth, a streetThe grocer and the butcherAnd the people that I meetThe children in the playgroundThe faces that I seeAll races and religionsThat's America to me
A place I work inA worker by my sideA little town or cityWhere my people lived and diedThe howdy and the handshakeThe air of feeling freeAnd the right to speak my mind outThat's America to me
The things I see about meThe big things and the smallThe little corner newsstandAnd the house a mile tallThe wedding and the churchyardThe laughter and the tearsAnd the dream that's been a growingFor a hundred and eighty 250 years.
The town I live inThe street, the house, the roomPavement of the cityOr a garden all in bloomThe church, the school, the clubhouseThe millions lights I seeBut especially the peopleThat's America to me
