'The House I Live in' Lyrics

Frank Sinatra feat. Neil Diamond


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
And 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 or city
Where my people lived and died

The howdy and the handshake
The air of feeling free
And the right to speak my mind out
That's america to me

The things I see about me
The big things and the small
The little corner newsstand
And the house a mile tall



The wedding and the churchyard
