Lyrics
In New York City there's traffic everywhere the rain has stopped moisture fills the air
Children in school yards they laugh and play the bell's about to ring to start a new day
(chorus)
When the sun comes up on America
The Statue of Liberty greets the day
When the sun comes up on America
It stretches all the way to the San Francisco Bay
Long black freight trains rolling East to West sleepy- eyed truckers pull over to rest
Bible belt Christians kneel to pray feel the temperature rising it's the middle of the day
(Repeat Chorus)
We're the beacon of light for the world to see
Bring us your poor for those who have a dream
Those seeking freedom our land was meant to be
