America - Brittini Black[00:00:00]

What would bring a young man [00:00:07]

To rise up from his birthplace[00:00:11]

Pack his life into a suitcase[00:00:14]

And set sail for distant shores[00:00:18]

And what would cause a Grandma [00:00:22]

After 80 years of living[00:00:26]

To leave her little village not knowing[00:00:30]

What may lay in store[00:00:34]

What could fill the hopeless millions[00:00:39]

With a newly-kindled faith[00:00:43]

In a brighter future far across the waves[00:00:47]

I can almost hear them say[00:00:55]

America I hear you calling me[00:00:58]

Sweet land of liberty I'm on my way[00:01:05]

America beckoning with open arms[00:01:13]

I long to feel the warmth[00:01:20]

Of freedom's flame[00:01:24]

God has given hope a name America[00:01:29]

They spent the voyage crowded[00:01:40]

At the bottom of a steamer[00:01:44]

Fighting famine fear and fever[00:01:48]

For six long weeks or more[00:01:52]

Children cried from hunger [00:01:56]

Oh and mothers wept for babies[00:01:59]

Praying they would make it[00:02:03]

To see the other shore[00:02:07]

But the weariness and worry[00:02:11]

Must've melted from their eyes[00:02:14]

To behold that lady rising in the sky[00:02:18]

Oh can't you hear them cry[00:02:26]

America I hear you calling me[00:02:29]

Sweet land of liberty I'm on my way[00:02:36]

America beckoning with open arms[00:02:44]

I long to feel the warmth[00:02:51]

Of freedom's flame[00:02:56]

God has given hope a name America[00:03:01]

So I will not take for granted[00:03:12]

This life I'm blessed to lead[00:03:16]

Or the ones who sacrificed so much[00:03:19]

To hand it down to me[00:03:23]

'Cause not so long ago [00:03:27]

This land I call home was just a dream[00:03:30]

Of huddled masses yearning to breathe free[00:03:35]

Ooh[00:03:42]

America may God keep you in his hand[00:03:46]

Keep you strong and help you stand [00:03:52]

This I pray[00:03:57]

America hold high your splendid torch[00:04:00]

Let the whole world feel the warmth[00:04:08]

Of freedom's flame[00:04:12]

God has given hope a name America[00:04:17]
