The House I Live In - Sam Cooke[00:00:01]
Written by:L. Allan/E. Robinson[00:00:02]
The house I live in[00:00:21]
A plot of earth a street[00:00:25]
The grocer and the butcher[00:00:29]
And the people that I meet[00:00:33]
The children in the playground[00:00:38]
The faces that I see[00:00:42]
All races all religions[00:00:46]
That's America to me[00:00:51]
The place I work in the worker at my side[00:01:07]
The little town or city where my people lived and died[00:01:15]
The howdy and the handshake[00:01:24]
The air of feeling free[00:01:28]
The right to speak my mind out[00:01:32]
That's America to me[00:01:37]
The things I see about me[00:01:51]
The big things and the small[00:01:55]
The little corner newsstand and the house a mile tall[00:01:59]
The wedding in the churchyard[00:02:07]
The laughter and the tears[00:02:11]
The dream that's been a growin' for a hundred and fifty years[00:02:15]
The town I live in[00:02:27]
The street the house the room[00:02:31]
The pavement of the city[00:02:35]
Or a garden all in bloom[00:02:39]
The church the school the clubhouse[00:02:43]
The millions lights I see[00:02:47]
But especially the people[00:02:52]
That's America to me[00:02:57]
