dianne reeves - the house i live in lyrics

Loading...

the house that 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

the place that i work in
the worker by my side
the little towns and cities
where my people lived and died

the h-llo and the handshake
the air of feeling free, oh
and 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 news stand
and the house, a mile tall

the wedding and the churchyard
the laughter and the tears
the dream that’s been growing
for over four hundred years

the town that i’d live in
the streets, the house, the room
the pavement in the city
or a garden all in bloom

the school, the church, the clubhouse
the million lights i see
but especially the people
that’s america, that’s america

from sea to shining sea
every face, every religion
oh, democracy, yeah

oh, america
come share this grace on me
oh, yeah
