American Anthem 歌詞
American Anthem - Denyce Graves
All we've been given
By those who came before
The dream of a nation
Where freedom would endure
The whole work and prayers of centuries
Have brought us to this day
What shall be our legacy
What will our children say
Let them say of me
I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings
I received
Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America America
I gave my best to you
Each generation from the plains
To distant shore with the gifts
That they were given
Were determined to leave more
Valiant battles fought together
Acts of conscience fought alone
These are the seeds
From which America has grown
Let them say of me
I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings I received
Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America America
I gave my best to you
For those who think
They have nothing to share
Who fear in their hearts
There is no hero there
Know each quiet act of dignity is
That which fortifies
The soul of a nation
That never dies never dies
Let them say of me
I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings I received
Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America America
America America
America America
I gave my best to you
