Lyrics
I've seen a moon rise over Georgia
I've seen a sun set on the plains
From the shores of California
To the winding roads of Maine
This is my country
Of thee I sing
I know that we've had our share of hard times
But with freedom, that's the price we have to pay
You can leave if you think you need to
But friend I'm gonna miss you
As I wake up every morning to face the day
I thank God ....I'm American
I hope my children someday understand
How lucky (blessed) we are to live in this great land
I thank God...I'm American
When I was young my grandma use to tell me
"Son, in this life dreams come true
You can be anything you want to be
Touch anything your heart can see
?Cause you're born of the red, white, and blue"
Nobody's gonna burn a flag in my town
Nobody's gonna take away my family
My solid rock rests on this ground
And my forefathers gave their life
So that I may walk it free.....Yeah, I may walk it free
