Lyrics
THIS IS A-MER-I-CA A LAND IN WHICH TO DREAM
THIS IS A-MER-I-CA WHERE YOU AND I ARE FREE
THIS IS A-MER-I-CA THE U-S-A
AND WHEN WE VOTE WE'LL KEEP IT THIS WAY
IT'S A-MER-I-CA A LAND IN WHICH TO DREAM
THERE'S NO OTHER COUNTRY WHERE A MAN CAN BE SO FREE
THERE'S NO OTHER PLACE ON EARTH FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
WHERE THERE'S A BILL OF RIGHTS WITH LIBERTIES
FOR EACH AND EVERYONE THAT WE SEE
IT'S A-MER-RI-CA A LAND IN WHICH TO DREAM
THIS IS AMERICA
THIS IS AMERICA
THIS IS A-MER-RI-CA IT'S YOUR HOME AND MINE
GOD HAS BLESSED US ALL OF MANKIND
IT'S AMERICA A LAND IN WHICH TO DREAM
THIS IS AMERICA A LAND IN WHICH TO DREAM
THIS IS AMERICA WHERE YOU AND I ARE FREE
THIS IS A-MER-RI-CA IT'S YOUR HOME AND MINE
THAT GOD HAS BLESSED US ALL OF MANKIND
IT'S A-MER-RI-CA A LAND IN WHICH TO DR----E---AM
IT'S AMERICA A LAND IN WHICH TO DREAM.
