《America》歌词

[00:00:00] America - Brittini Black

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:56] Children cried from hunger

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:42] Ooh

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

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

[00:03:57] This I pray

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

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

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

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