One America

©2000 Michael D. Renneker

 

This country is more than just a place

more than a vast, wide open space

it=s more of an idea, who=s time is here and now

it=s people are bound by what they share

by what is right and what is fair

and now it=s time to pull together

 

chorus

let there be one America, one America

where we can celebrate our colors

as we stand as sisters and brothers

let=s make one America, one America

let us be a lightning rod one nation under God

one America, one America

 

This country stands for one ideal

built by blood and sweat and steel

and let us not forget the ones who gave up their lives

so ever higher we can climb

one strong family at a time

now is our chance  to work together

 

chorus

 

let=s move forth blameless from the past

united one and all at last

in freedom let us come  together

for a better future
