Lyrics
Map Of America
Words and Music by Jim Hogan
My home is Tucson Native American solo
Native American
Upon this land
Since time began
My people?s face
Gives strength and grace
To the map,
Map of America
America, CHORUS.
A jigsaw puzzle,
Millions of shapes
Millions of faces
Locked arm in arm
We become one
Put it together
Map of America
I live in L.A. Hispanic American solo
Hispanic American
Conquistadors
Ruled shore to shore
My people?s face
Gives strength and grace
To the map,
Map of America
I hail from Boston Pilgrim American solo
Pilgrim American
Mayflower descendant
Fought for independence
My people?s face
Gives strength and grace
To the map,
Map of America
My home?s Atlanta African American solo
African American
Like Dr. King
I have a dream
My people?s face
Gives strength and grace
To the map,
Map of America
My town?s Chicago Asian American solo
Asian American
Our Brains and Brawn
Built America Strong
My people?s face
Gives strength and grace
To the map,
Map of America
We live in all towns Immigrant Americans? solo
Immigrant Americans
Pursuing Dreams
On freedom?s wings
Our people?s face
Gives strength and grace
To the map,
Map of America
We are the children Children?s solo
Children Americans
Of every race
Of every faith
Our shining face
The hope and grace
Of the map,
Map of America
America, CHORUS repeated
A jigsaw puzzle,
Millions of shapes
Millions of faces
Locked arm in arm
We become one
Put it together
Map of America
Put it together Tag ending
Map of America
