Lyrics

To Be an American

You were born in America
How fortunate you are
For only in America
Can you reach for the highest star
You can say what you want
Think what you want
Do what you want to do
Oh, to be an American
To be like one of you
I came here from a foreign land
How fortunate I am
And like so many before me
You opened up your arms
You give me your valleys
Your mountains and your plains
You give me a love that's true
Now I too am American
Now I'm just like one of you
Now I am an American
I am just like one of you
Just like you and you
