lyrics

Like a woman convinced her worth's
in the shine of her hair, the cut of her dress
So she won't remember that under the shape of her skin
lies a heart that beats in her chest
had I forsaken, or had I forgot
If so then witness me untie the knot
Cause my God wouldn't settle for anything less

More than fertile fields more than her mighty hand
More than tower's high and ocean's white with foam
Hallelujah she's a lighthouse may she stand
America my home

what do the masses who cross over oceans
have deep in their hearts, that keeps them aglow
While we raise our glasses and gamble for gain
All the world's our stage, come join the show
But they know on earth there's still only one place
Though all in hell try like hell to erase
What my God has given to all who will know

Read the words he's written on her golden door
"All are free to find a life that each can own"
Hallelujah as they cry upon her shore
America my home

So let them come and come what may
All those who hate the light of day
Who in their arrogance and pride
Build those towers to the sky to hide
Her grand idea, her shining thought
For that so many toiled and fought
For her so many bled and died
For her not few the times I cried

So leave your mansions you have made of sand
Hold her in your heart where ere you roam
Hallelujah shout throughout the land
America my home
America my home
America my home
