I SING AMERICA
A Musical Trilogy
By Uriah J. Fields
I Am America...
I am America...
America, beautiful and majestic,
America, the land that I love and stand
ready to defend.
I am America... A-M-E-R-I-C-A.
A - is for accountability to myself, others,
and God.
M- is for music, the most powerful sound
produced by the soul.
E- is for enlightenment, knowledge and
wisdom, the essence of potential.
R- is for responsibility, personal and
social in all that I am and all that I do.
I- is for integrity, expressed while standing
inviolate of my endowed divinity.
C- is for compassion, the empathy
extended to everyone great and small.
A- stands for ah that characterizes the
experience of being America.
Now you can see that I am America.
He who sees me sees America,
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
America's hands are my hands,
America's feet are my feet,
America's eye are my eyes,
America's ears are my ears,
America's soul is my soul,
America's story is my story,
And I will tell it wherever I am;
I am America, proud, yet humble,
I am America, rich, yet a possessor
of few material possessions,
I am America, courageous, yet
caring even while daring,
I am America, strong, yet ever
mindful that "but for the grace
of God so go I."
America! America! I am America!
This is My America Too
This is my America too.
I will not be silent and stand idly
by when America is under seige by
some Americans who work day and
night to deny freedom and justice
for all Americans.
(Refrain)
So let the word go forth, I will not
surrender to fiendish ideologues now
or tomorrow who feign being patriotic
Americans while questioning my
patriotism. This is my America too.
This is my America too.
And I want the fiendish ideologues
to know America is worth fighting for
and I am willing and ready to fight
to extend freedom and justice for all
Americans.
O American Warrior
O American Warrior fight the good fight.
Fight with hope, faith and love,
Fight for justice and equality for all.
This is your fight. Only you can win
this fight.
O American Warrior fight the good fight.
Fight now, fight on, fight on,
Fight now, fight on, fight on,
Fight now, fight on, fight on.
