Lyrics
G C G
In my America
G C G
You love who you choose
G C G
Any God or human
G D
It's up to you
D C G
Your body's yours
G C G
And so's your mind
G C G
Choose your own course
G D
It's your right
CHORUS
G
In my America
C
Everyone counts
D C
Hold out a hand to ya
G
No one kept down
G
We take care of our own
C
Respect yours/all others
D C
This earth's our home
G
We're sisters and brothers
We take care of our own
And respect the rest
Plenty of room
On this planet
My America's
The home of the brave
We hate all wars
Don't need no parades
We only fight
When there's no other way
Only use our might
To make a better day
CHORUS
Well my America
Is also yours
She belongs to all of us
And us to her
Gotta do her right
The Lady of Liberty
Shine her light
For all humanity
