America

America

America

America

America

[?] saw a light and she promised her child

To carry him through and give birth on that side

In a dingy hotel on the north of the line

She gave birth to a boy and went into the lie

High in the skies, stars are pointing their light

To a place on the map we are dying to find

There's a bill on the books from the ancestor's law

It is written in code yet it speaks to us all

America

Some say that it's physical

Some say that it's spiritual

Some say it's a miracle, oh, so beautiful

(America)

Some say that it's physical

Some say that it's spiritual

Some say it's a miracle, oh, so beautiful

A young man had won from the hounds and the guns

They had a built up this world from the sweat of his brow

Now he dreamed of his seed growing strong over time

No child of his will live south of the line

Eagle told men when he showed at the shore

That a promise was written and sealed in her core

I can tell you no more then this land is alive

You can call it your own but you can't own a lie

America

Some say that it's physical

Some say that it's spiritual

Some say it's a miracle, oh, so beautiful

(America)

Some say that it's physical

Some say that it's spiritual

Some say it's a miracle, oh, so beautiful

(America)

America

America

America

America

America

Some say that it's physical

Some say that it's spiritual

Some say it's a miracle, oh, so beautiful

America, my life

I want the whole world to know the reason why

I want to live, not die

I want the whole world to know the reason why

America, oh, so beautiful
