Lyrics
AMERICAN DO
***********
From the morning dew...on the Boston Common
To a starry night...over a Texas Town
Through a peaceful sunset...at Pacifica
There's a common thread...that can be found
From the City streets...of nine eleven
You can hear the sound...where heroes cry
To the tallest timber....through the far Nothwest
There's a spirit...that never dies
AMERICA...cradle me with your liberty
AMERICAN...speak to the heart of you and me
AMERICA WON'T...run from what it has to do
AMERICA WILL...
AMERICAN-DO
All along the cornfields...in the deepest heartland
As it rises up...through a Dakota sky
Riding on the ridges...on the highest Sierra
To the valley...down the mountainside
Sunny Talahassee...in an orange grove
To an icy cold... Chicago wind
We are all bound up...and held together
Through the thickest...and the thin
CHORUS
Hear the voices of Philadelphia
From the Founding Fathers for all to see
Now a gracious land...shining free
CHORUS
