The House I Live In |
| What is America to me |
| A name, a map, or a flag I see |
| A certain word, democracy |
| What is America to me The house I live in A plot of earth, the street |
| The grocer and the butcher |
| Or the people that I meet |
| The children in the playground |
| The faces that I see |
| All races and religions |
| That’s America to me The place I work in The worker by my side |
| The little town the city |
| Where my people lived and died |
| The howdy and the handshake |
| The air a feeling free |
| And the right to speak your mind out |
| That’s America to me The things I see about me The big things and the small |
| That little corner newsstand |
| Or the house a mile tall |
| The wedding and the churchyard |
| The laughter and the tears |
| The dream that’s been a growing |
| For more than two hundred years |
| 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 millions lights I see |
| Especially the people |
| That’s America to me |
