America
Land of freedom, America
Brightest beacon, America
Home of dreamers, America

They say in America
The streets are lined with apple trees
All you’ve got to do
Is pick apples and eat
Nobody’s ever hungry
No one ever needs
Everything is love togetherness and peace
People are united
Liberty is law
You will have the key to open any door
No matter who you are
No matter where you’ve been
Everybody’s welcome in

America
Land of freedom, America
Brightest beacon, America
Home of dreamers, America

They say in America
There’s gold under your feet
Everywhere you walk
On every single street
Money grows on trees
Right outside your door
Everybody’s rich
There’s no such thing as poor
Everybody lives the life of luxury
Everyone enjoys the rights of liberty
The freedom to pursue
Whatever they might dream
Everyone can prosper in

America
Land of freedom, America
Brightest beacon, America
Home of dreamers, America

America
Land of freedom, America
Brightest beacon, America
Home of dreamers, America
