America Lyrics

America lyrics

We came like babies
From our home across the sea
To see America.
And
the people opened up their arms
To welcome us...to America.
We came like
children
From a far and distant land
To see America, and the
golden
Sun of freedom filtered down on us,
In America.

And the
people stood and stared
Loved us more than we had dared - to
In
America.

Super highways here and there
Pretty womens
everywhere
Brady Bunch and Smokey Bear
Buildings reaching to the
sky
Afro-sheen and apple pie
PTA and FBI.

The jumbo jet begins to
rise
A joyful nation waves its bye-bye's.

Each religion, race, and
creed
Gets exactly what they need
God bless Johnny Appleseed.
