Lyrics
AMERICAN
AMERICAN
That's what I am
I come from everywhere
That's the way it's always been
Red white and blue
Runs through my skin
AMERICAN
That's what I am
We the people
Let there be no doubt
We can vote you in
We can throw you out
We can wave old glory
Or a protest sign
Follow your faith
I can follow mine
Chorus Repeats
Musical Bridge/Lyrical Bridge
Thirteen fearless colonies
Fought together
To be forever free
Star spangled banner legacy
Independence for you and me
Chorus Repeats
