The House I Live In
"What is America to me
A name, a map or a flag I see
A certain word, democracy
What is America to me
The house I live in
A plot of earth a street
The grocer and the butcher
And the people that I meet
The children in the playground
The places that I see
ALL RACES AND RELIGIONS
That's America to me
The place I work in
The workers by my side
The little town the city
Where my people lived and died
The howdy and the handshake
The air a feeling free
AND THE RIGHT TO SPEAK YOUR MIND OUT
That's America to me."
