Lyrics:

Writers Robinson/allen

what Is America To Me
a Name, A Map, Or A Flag I See
a Certain Word, Democracy
what Is America To Me

the House I Live In
a Plot Of Earth, A Street
the Grocer And The Butcher
or The People That I Meet

the Children In The Playground
the Faces That I See
all Races And Religions
that's America To Me

the Place I Work In
the Worker By My Side
the Little Town The City
where My People Lived And Died

the Howdy And The Handshake
the Air A Feeling Free
and The Right To Speak Your Mind Out
that's America To Me

the Things I See About Me
the Big Things And The Small
that Little Corner Newsstand
or The House A Mile Tall

the Wedding And The Churchyard
the Laughter And The Tears
and The Dream That's Been A Growing
for More Than Two Hundred Years

the Town I Live In
the Street, The House, The Room
the Pavement Of The City
or The Garden All In Bloom

the Church The School The Clubhouse
the Millions Lights I See
but Especially The People
- Yes Especially The People
that's America To Me
