"American Roots" Original music
with lyrics inspired by Walt Whitman

Music and Lyrics: Nick Barberio

I hear America sing its varied song.
From the Midwest plains, to the urban throng.
And I hear her voice, singing out loud and strong.
And it feels like home, where I belong.

I am America. I sing myself to you.
And I celebrate our faithful fight for freedom
'cause we still have freedom... if you want.
And now our spirit carries on.

No matter how hard the wind blows to silence our voice,
...here I stand. It's still America.

And when the powers that be try to barter our choice,
I will sing America!

We are America and our pride is showing
Like the leaves of grass seen on a Sunday morning
We'll just keep on growing toward the sun.
And roots run deep within our song.
With love and faith we'll get along.

No matter how hard the wind blows to silence our voice,
...here I stand. It's still America.

And when the powers that be try to barter our choice,
I will sing America!

Sing America!

We sing America!
