Lyrics
America My Home
Music & lyrics by Richard Fisher
There's an aching in my heart that won't be still
There's a land that's waiting just beyond the hill
America! America! Wherever I may be
Forever I will dream my dreams of thee.....
Oh-oh, be my right hand, be my shield - for I have far to go
Though the journey may be hard to bear - the pain hard not to show
America! America! Though oceans may us part
I'll forever hold thee deep inside my heart!
Though the songs of ancient lands may stir my veins
Seas and mountains I have seen but can't explain
Why nowhere else on God's good earth can hold me fierce and strong
As America - this land where I belong
America! America! Wherever I may roam
My heart beats true - America My Home! - My Home!
