The moment my eyes were open
That's when I started loving you
And deep in my heart
Your name will live forever
I am who I am because of you
My Father spoke of you to me
Since I can remember
His words became the very spark
That lit the ember
You opened your arms and held me
Nurtured me with a Mother's love
I want to give back
Because to me you've given
The hope that I can always rise above
And I will fight each day to prove
That I deserve it
If there's a thing that you hold true
I will preserve it
I look to you with so much pride and admiration
You are the source of all my goals and aspirations
My inspiration
America
I'll live and die to keep you
America
Whatever it may lead to
America
I'll honor and defend you
America
Even in the moments I don't understand you
America
It's you that I belong to
America
And everything I've gone through
America
Is worth the sacrifice
America
May your spirit be forever brave
Your flag forever wave
America
Just to be free, so many
Struggled to make you what you are
Trading the colors of their flags for yours
In the hopes it would take them very far
Climbing each hurdle on the way to new horizons
While risking everything
No fear, no compromises
Help us to realize the dreams that we have borrowed
I pray you'll be the one that leads
So we can follow into tomorrow
America
I'll live and die to keep you
America
Whatever it may lead to
America
I'll honor and defend you
America
Even in the moments I don't understand you
America
It's you that I belong to
America
And everything I've gone through
America
Is worth the sacrifice
America
May your spirit be forever brave
Your flag forever wave
America
We celebrated the good times
America
Held on me through bad times
America
I'll honor and defend you
America
America
It's you that I belong to
America
And everything I've gone through
America
Is worth the sacrifice
America
America
America
America
