America

America - I call your mine,

The prairies wide - the hills that climb,

Each river that would reach the sea,

Our heritage - democracy.

America - oh, wondrous land,

A home for all - 'neath freedom's light,

Believing in the good and right.

America - forever true,

Beneath our flag - red, white and blue,

A lasting faith - a trust to keep,

A harvest rich the worthy reap.

From sea to sea - oh, wondrous span, .

A dream worthwhile for every man,

No other country quite as fine...

America - I'm proud you're mine.
