All we've been given, by
those who came before, the
dream of a nation, where
freedom would endure, the
work and prayers of centuries, have
brought us to this day
What shall be our legacy? What
will our children say?
Let them say of me, I was
one who believed, in
sharing the blessings
I received, let me
know in my heart, when my
days are through
America America, I
Dm7/G G7 C (piano: C major arpeggio into bridge)
gave my best to you
Each generation from the
plains to distant shore with the
gifts that they were given, were
determined to leave more
Battles fought together, acts of
conscience fought alone
these are the seeds from which
America has grown
Let them say of me, I was
one who believed, in
sharing the blessings that
I received, let me
know in my heart, when my
days are through
America America, I
Dm7/G G7 C (piano: C major arpeggio into solo)
gave my best to you
For those who think they
have nothing to share, who
fear in their hearts, there
is no hero there, know each
quiet act of dignity is
that which fortifies the
soul of a nation
that will never die
Let them say of me, I was
one who believed in
sharing the blessings
I received, let me
know in my heart, when my
days are through
America America, I
gave my best to you...
America (PIANO finishes 2nd "America"), I
gave my best to you.
