Lyrics:
Months at sea, he wore the woolen blanket made by his wife
'til he saw a mighty woman, with a torch that scraped the sky

Right then, he believed in America, with nothing but coins and hope in his hands
He believed in America, from the deck he could see the promised land



She smells of bleach from cleaning houses her knees, have turned to black
She wears a yellow ribbon and prays her soldier son comes back

She believes in America, with nothing but a dream in her calloused hand
She believes in America, from the border she saw the promised land

Though the faces have changed the beacon still remains
The dream is still alive

Born and raised in California, I've had a blessed life
with the kids we light our sparklers for the heros on the fourth of July

Oh yeah, I believe in America, with nothing but destiny in my hands
I believe in America, this is my home and home is the promised land

this is my home and home is the promised land
I love this promised land
