Eine Hymne auf Amerika:
Amid fields of clover,
'Twas just a little over
A hundred years ago,
A handful of strangers,
They faced many dangers
To make their country grow
It's now quite a nation
Of wond'rous population,
And free from ev'ry king,
It's your land it's my land,
A great do or die land,
And that's just why I sing.
Chorus:
America, I love you,
You're like a sweetheart of mine,
From ocean to ocean,
For you my devotion,
Is touching each bound'ry line,
Just like a little baby
Climbing it's mother's knee,
And there's a hundred million other's like me.
From all sorts of places,
They welcomed all the races
To settle on their shore,
They didn't care which one,
The poor or the rich one
They still had room for more
To give them protection
By popular election,
A set of laws they chose,
They're your laws and my laws,
For your cause and my cause
That's why this country rose.
Chorus
