[00:21.59] The house I live in
[00:25.78] A plot of earth a street
[00:29.88] The grocer and the butcher
[00:33.81] And the people that I meet
[00:38.38] The children in the playground
[00:42.09] The faces that I see
[00:46.65] All races all religions
[00:51.97] That's America to me
[01:08.18] The place I work in the worker by my side
[01:16.23] The little town or city where my people lived and died
[01:24.32] The "howdy" and the handshake
[01:27.95] The air of feeling free
[01:32.57] And the right to speak my mind out
[01:37.04] That's America to me
[01:51.37] The things I see about me
[01:55.21] The big things and the small
[01:59.31] The little corner newsstand and the house a mile tall
[02:08.02] The wedding in the churchyard
[02:11.50] The laughter and the tears
[02:15.84] The dream that's been a-growin' for a hundred and fifty years
[02:28.14] The town I live in
[02:31.45] The street the house the room
[02:35.59] The pavement of the city
[02:38.93] Or a garden all in bloom
[02:43.45] The church the school the clubhouse
[02:47.65] The millions lights I see
[02:52.09] But especially the people
[02:56.74] That's America to me
