Ernie Haase & Signature Sound - The House I Live In Lyrics

Verse 1
What is America to me
A name, a map, or a flag I see
A certain word, democracy
What is America to me

Verse 2
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 and religions
That's America to me

Verse 3
The place I work in
The worker by my side
The little town or a city
Where my people lived and died
The howdy and the handshake
The air a feeling free
And the right to speak my mind out
That's America to me

Verse 4
The things I see about me
The big things and the small
That little corner newsstand
And the house a mile tall
The wedding and the churchyard
The laughter and the tears
And the dream that's been a growing
For over two hundred years

Verse 5
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
Oh but especially the people
That's America to me
