The House I Live In (That's America To Me) |
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 |
