This is America
From the rocky coves of coastal Maine
To the sands of Molokai
From the turquoise bays of the Virgin Isles
To Denali in the sky
From bayou, and prairie, and riverside
To the Rocky Mountain high
From desert sand, and Georgia clay
To the black old earth of the Ioway
This is America
This is you and me
This is America
And we will fight to keep her free
From the Avenue, and Maple Street
To the dusty lane fryin’ in the Texas heat
From the haul roads workin’ up to Prudhoe Bay
To the sun-bleached bridges of the Key Highway
This is America
This is you and me
This is America
And we will fight to keep her free
We love America
And we will fight to keep her free
From the temple, mosque, synagogue and church’s pew
From believers all and non-believers, too
From the black, white, yellow, red, brown and gray
From the rich and poor, from the straight and gay
This is America
This is you and me
This is America
And we will fight to keep her free
We love America
And we will fight to keep her free
From the classroom, the farm and factory
From commerce, and art, and industry
From the working, the caring, the long-retired
And from the unemployment line
This is America
This is you and me
This is America
And we will fight to keep her free
We love America
And we will fight to keep her free
