America

Lyrics

Some have said, down through history
 If you last it's a mystery
 But I guess they don't know, what they're talking about
 ♪
 From the mountains down to the sea
 You've become such a habit with me
 America, Amer-ica
 ♪
 Well I come from, down around Tennesee
 But the people in California
 Are nice to me, Amer-ica
 It don't matter where I may roam
 Tell you people that it's home sweet home
 America, Amer-ica
 Chorus:
 And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
 And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
 Promise and then follow through, America
 ♪
 And the men, who fell on the plains
 And lived, through hardship and pain
 America, Amer-ica
 ♪
 And the men who could not fight
 In a war that didn't seem right
 You let them come home, America
 ♪
 And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
 And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
 Promise and then follow through, America
 ♪
 Well I come from, down around Tennesee
 But the people in California
 Are nice to me, Amer-ica
 It don't matter where I may roam
 And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
 ♪
 And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
 Promise and then follow through, America
 Tell you people that it's home sweet home
 America, Amer-ica
 America, Amer-ica
 And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
 And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
 Promise and then follow through, America
 It's home sweet home, Amer-ica
 America, Amer-ica
