The moment my eyes were openThat's when I started loving youAnd deep in my heartYour name will live foreverI am who I am because of youMy Father spoke of you to meSince I can rememberHis words became the very sparkThat lit the emberYou opened your arms and held meNurtured me with a Mother's loveI want to give backBecause to me you've givenThe hope that I can always rise aboveAnd I will fight each day to proveThat I deserve itIf there's a thing that you hold trueI will preserve itI look to you with so much pride and admirationYou are the source of all my goals and aspirationsMy inspirationAmericaI'll live and die to keep youAmericaWhatever it may lead toAmericaI'll honor and defend youAmericaEven in the moments I don't understand youAmericaIt's you that I belong toAmericaAnd everything I've gone throughAmericaIs worth the sacrificeAmericaMay your spirit be forever braveYour flag forever waveAmericaJust to be free, so manyStruggled to make you what you areTrading the colors of their flags for yoursIn the hopes it would take them very farClimbing each hurdle on the way to new horizonsWhile risking everythingNo fear, no compromisesHelp us to realize the dreams that we have borrowedI pray you'll be the one that leadsSo we can follow into tomorrowAmericaI'll live and die to keep youAmericaWhatever it may lead toAmericaI'll honor and defend youAmericaEven in the moments I don't understand youAmericaIt's you that I belong toAmericaAnd everything I've gone throughAmericaIs worth the sacrificeAmericaMay your spirit be forever braveYour flag forever waveAmericaWe celebrated the good timesAmericaHelp me on through bad timesAmericaI'll honor and defend youAmericaAmericaIt's you that I belong toAmericaAnd everything I've gone throughAmericaIs worth the sacrificeAmericaAmericaAmericaAmerica
