America, America, and the dream goes on!
America, America, and the dream goes on!

There's a song in the dust of a county road
On the wind it comes to call,
And it sings in the farms and the fac'try towns
Where you think there'd be no song at all.

And the words are the words that our fathers heard
As they whistled down the years,
And the name of the song is the name of the dream
And it's music to our ears.

America, America, and the dream goes on!
America, America, and the dream goes on!

And the words that we read on the courthouse walls
And the words that make us free
And the more we remember the way we began
The closer we get to the best we can be.

Was there ever a time we forgot it's worth
All the struggles and the scars
If we leave to the children a sky full of hope
And a flag that's filled with stars.

America, America, and the dream goes on!

Remember the voice of Jefferson
And the sound of Thomas Paine,
Lincoln sang at Gettysberg about America.
Listen well to the wind and you can hear
From Oregon to Maine,

America, America !

There's a song in the dust of a country road
It's a song we must recall
And it sings in the farms and th fac'try towns
And where you think there'd be no song at all.

And the words are the words that our fathers heard
As they whistled down the years,
And the name of the song is the name of the dream
And it's music to our ears.

America, America, and the dream goes on!

Think of Roosevelt and Kennedy
And of Martin Luther King
And the way they sang a song about America
Listen well to the wind, its always there
And it's asking us to sing,

America, America !

Though the voices are changing,
The song's the same as it sings from sea to sea,
And as long as the music is strong and clear
We'll know that tomorrow will always be free.

America, and the dream goes on !
America, and the dream goes on !

America, America, America, America, and the dream goes on !

Steve, although i STRONGLY disagree with your option, i would DEFEND TO THE DEATH your right and FREEDOM to have it and voice it freely. also thank a solider when you see one, for risking his life to defend your right to speak your mind. GOD BLESS AMERICA

@GGbreizh That is unfortunate. He was the most successful and most celebrated composer of the late 20th century. Many people don't know his name, but start humming the theme from Star Wars, Superman, Indiana Jones, and many other iconic films and people will recognize them.

@GGbreizh I stand corrected he did perform it in public at that event. I forgot all about that. As much as I love Denver I did not like his rendition of it. it just didn't sound right.

[GGbreizh]

John Williams can make every single person proud to be human.

It is too bad that many people don't know him, or that he is being excluded from classical circles even though he composed great symphonic works.

[GGbreizh]

@ma2rowe He did during the centennial of the Statue of the Liberty.

Every country in the world has blood on it's hand's. Look at russia..china.It's always been about land grab.America does try and do what is right..she always has. How many ountries after winning a war bless their enemies? look at germany and japan. They waged war..we won and then turned around and blessed them. They are now powerful and rich countries.

Duke Nukem Likes it too!! This also wants me to play DUke Nukem! I wanna visit America in person!

[sunfsh2002]

The first time I heard this song, was when it was sung by John Denver. I was so lucky to have heard him in concert before his death. What a great loss America suffered that day. You can catch this version on youTube, if you search John Denver America. It has been said that he was at his peak when he performed this song, but honestly, he had over a decade of "peak". Thanks for including the words here. God Bless America.

3 people hate America.

If anyone cares, the vocalist is the great James Ingram.

[Critias77]

@Kennychan222 Amen to that!
