                                       WHAT IS AMERICA TO ME?
        
A  LAND OF LIBERTY, FREEDOM, AND DEMOCRACY,
THAT IS WHAT AMERICA IS TO ME.

  YOU ARE AN AMERICAN,
   I AM AN AMERICAN.
  WE ALL ARE AMERICANS,
  FROM THE HEART AND THE SOUL
  OF US ALL YOUNG AND OLD.  

  SOME OF US ARE TO YOUNG TO FIGHT,
  SOME OF US ARE TOO OLD TO FIGHT,
  BUT WE ALL DO OUR PART,
  FROM THE VERY BOTTOM OF OUR HEART.

OUR FOREFATHER’S FOUGHT TO KEEP US FREE,
AND NOW IT’S UP TO YOU AND ME.

LET’S TEACH OTHER COUNTRY’S ABOUT DEMOCRACY,
SO THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO LIVE IN TYRANNY.
                                      
LET US ALL WORK FOR A WORLD AT PEACE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE,
OR WE WILL ALL SUFFER A HORRIBLE FATE.

LET US ALL WORK TO FIND THE SOLUTION,
TO A PLANET THAT’S FULL OF POLLUTION

OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS DESERVES A GOOD EARTH,
  LIKE THEIR ANCESTORS HAD AT BIRTH.

  WOULDN’T IT BE A DELIGHT,
  IF ALL THE WORLD’S CHILDREN UNITE,
  MAKING THIS PLANET ALL RIGHT.

  LET ALL THE WORLD SCIENTIST’S GET TOGETHER,
  SO THEY CAN WIPE OUT MOST ILLNESSES ALTOGETHER.

LET PEOPLE OF ALL RELIGIONS UNITE,
      MAKING THIS TROUBLED WORLD ALL RIGHT

  LET ALL PEOPLE TREAT ONE ANOTHER,
   AS IF THEY WERE SISTER AND BROTHER

   LET COLOR NOT BE CRITERIA FOR FRIENDSHIP,
    BY SHOWING EVERYONE OUR FELLOWSHIP
