America I Miss You

America I miss you, but in my dreams you're still alive A place that I believed in, that honored truth instead of lies A place where every man woman and child had worth A place where people valued the beauty of the earth I can see you in my mind, I didn't ever want to part I remember with tears of joy, and your passing breaks my heart Oh, America I loved you so America it's hard to let you go Oh, America I still hold you dear America, don't give in to fear America, I miss you, how you once stood so strong For decency, democracy, for right over wrong A place where freedom rang from ev'ry hill and peak A place that honored dignity and lifted up the weak I can see you in my mind, I didn't ever want to part I remember with tears of joy, and your passing breaks my heart Oh, America I loved you so America it's hard to let you go Oh, America I still hold you dear America, don't give in to fear We've seen mighty kingdoms come and go, empires rise and fall But America stood proudly for the rights of all I can see you in my mind, I didn't ever want to part I remember with tears of joy, and your passing breaks my heart Oh, America I loved you so America it's hard to let you go Oh, America I still hold you dear America, don't give in to fear
