Lyrics

I saw a hand reach out to comfort a stranger,

and for the sake of mankind, I watched as a man put his own life

in danger.

People rushin? about, vowing they?d help out, however they can.

And it made me feel proud to be an American. Yes, I was touched,

by the spirit of America.


It builds up the walls, to keep out the floods, rescues from fires,

donates the blood. Heads held up high defendin? our land, united and strong

together we?ll stand. That?s the spirit of America, that?s the spirit of America.


And what seemed to be the darkest day, a ray of light shown its way. It

knows no one language, race or gender, diverse yet equal coming together.

Standing tall, standing strong, keeping freedom marching on.


It builds up the walls, to keep out the floods, rescues from fires,

donates the blood. Heads held up high defendin? our land, united and strong

together we?ll stand. That?s the spirit of America, that?s the spirit of America.


So, let the sweet bell of freedom ring.
