Some have said, down through history
If you last it's a mystery
But I guess they don't know, what they're talking about

From the mountains down to the sea
You've become such a habit with me
America, America


Well I come from, down around Tennesee
But the people in California

Are nice to me, America
It don't matter where I may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home

America, America

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too

And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America


And the men, who fell on the plains
And lived, through hardship and pain
America, America

And the men who could not fight
In a war that didn't seem right
You let them come home, America


And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you

Promise and then follow through, America

Well I come from, down around Tennesee

But the people in California
Are nice to me, America
It don't matter where I may roam


And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you

Promise and then follow through, America

Tell you people that it's home sweet home

America, America
America, America


And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America


It's home sweet home, Amer-ica
America, America
