Lyrics

1. It was so long ago and yet, it seems like only yesterday.
When my mom and dad, and I, got on that plane.
It brought us to a magic land the people call the USA.
So many people just like us are here today.

2. Native American's came first and then, religious rights came next.
Then many others for so many reasons more.
And now the USA's a nation of the world as you can see.
But it's up to all of us to make it strong.

Chorus:
This is America, land of the free.
So many people here like you and me.
Let's make a difference now for all our lives.
If change is coming, it's up to us.

3. Our Nation's history is to fight for our believes and for our rights.
Many people lost their lives in wars for that.
It's up to us to show the world that we are still number one.
We have strength in numbers and we will not stop.

Chorus:
This is America, land of the free.
So many people here like you and me.
Let's make a difference now for all our lives.
If change is coming, it's up to us.

This is America, land of the free.
So many people here like you - like me.
Let's make a difference now for all our lives.
If change is coming, it's up to us.
If change is coming, it's up to us.
