The House I Live In - Sam Cooke (山姆·库克)

The house I live in

A plot of earth a street

The grocer and the butcher

And the people that I meet

The children in the playground

The faces that I see

All races all religions

That's America to me

The place I work in the worker by my side

The little town or city where my people lived and died

The "howdie" and the handshake

The air of feeling free

The right to speak my mind out

That's America to me

The things I see about me

The big things and the small

The little corner newsstand and the house a mile tall

The wedding in the churchyard

The laughter and the tears

The dream that's been a-growing for a 150 years

The town I live in

The street the house the room

The pavement of the city

Or a garden all in bloom

The church the school the clubhouse

The millions lights I see

But especially the people

That's America to me
