Song Description

The country version of a Patriotic Song I wrote while in the U.S. Air Force Overseas

Lyrics

Verse:
I?ve traveled around the world searching for a better place,
The beauty of the world is everywhere, And in every single face.
I?ve climbed the highest mountain peaks and swam the bluest seas,
But nothing can compare to the U.S.A, the land that began a dream.

And that dream gave us freedom slow in coming, but growing every day,
Think of life without the sunshine. Can you imagine your life that way?

Chorus:
America America,
Cherish the country where our dreams light the way,
America, America,
Together side by side we?ll stand seizin? every day.

Verse:
Imagine you live confined in a world where you can?t breathe,
The man with a gun is just outside in case you say what you believe,
To starve for days without a meal, no charity to come,
Many people live their lives that way but at home I know of none.

Oh, I know it isn?t easy, somehow when the sorrow bounds we cope,
Yes, at home we have our problems- but always here, there?s always new hope

Chorus:
America America,
Cherish the country where our dreams light the way,
America, America,
Together side by side we?ll stand seizin? every day.
America, America, We?ll listen to each other,
And accept what we believe.
America, America,
Our lives are intertwined with others more than we can see

Bridge:
Life isn?t easy anywhere,
But I believe that we have love to spare,
And our strength to share,
We?ll lead the way!
