Lyrics
Green trees and little purple flowers
Mountains and rivers running deep
Feilds full of upright yellow cornstalk
Farmers working hard for their keep
An investor, a lawyer and a banker
Yellow taxi from the other side of town
Roses that the doctor gave his mother
A smile that used to be a frown
Chorus:
This is my home, that's where my heart is
A place that I can call my own
So full of love, joy ripe to harvest
My home, so proud to call my home
Freedom, the right to choose my living
A gift given us by God
Mercy, though we're sometimes unforgiving
The right to stay up after dark
Bright orange sunset, sleeping on the water
Pale shiny moon, watches o'er the land
And God, the maker of all living,
holds us safely in the palm of his hand
Chorus
Though sometimes you've let me down
Not upholding to your truth
I see the faith I put in you
When I was just a youth
I pledged my allegiance, and true to you I must
I'm a child of my country, and in God I trust
America my home, that's where my heart is
No matter where I go, I'll love her just the same
I can always look back and know from where I came
My home sweet home, so proud to call my home
