Lyrics
America I miss you, but in my dreams you're still alive,
A place that I believed in, that honored truth instead of lies
A place where every man woman and child had worth
A place where people valued the beauty of the earth
(Chorus)
I can see you in my mind, I didn't ever want to part,
I remember with tears of joy, and your passing breaks my heart.
Oh, America I loved you so
America it's hard to let you go
Oh, America I still hold you dear
America, don't give in to fear
America, I miss you, how you once stood so strong
For decency, democracy, for right over wrong
A place where freedom rang from ev'ry hill and peak
A place that honored dignity and lifted up the weak
(Chorus)
We've seen mighty kingdoms come and go, empires rise and fall
But America stood proudly for the rights of all
(Chorus)
