America is a sharecropper's son
Who plays a guitar
And grows up to be
a rock and roll star
They say that a sharecropper's
son can go far
In America

America is a cop on the beat
Who walks all alone
And offers his life to
safeguard our own
Like so many heroes
unsung and unknown
In America
America

You can build a bigger bridge
You can make a better car
Erect a building tall enough
to almost touch the stars
Anything you can dream
you can do
In America

America is
an immigrant's daughter
With something to say
Who grows up to be
a writer someday
An immigrant's daughter
can turn out ok
In America

America is the
light and the heart
That immigrants see
That tells them
they’ve reached the
land of the free
and that is the way
that it always will be
In America
America

You can build a stronger dam
you can make a faster plane
Irrigate a barren desert
That’s crying out for rain
Anything you can dream
you can do
In America
In America
America
