O America, you're calling
I can hear you calling me
You are calling me to be true to thee,
true to thee I will be

O America, you're weeping
Let me heal your wounded heart
I will keep you in my keeping
'till there be a new start

And I will answer you
and I will take your hand
and lead you to the sun.

And I will stand by you,
do all that I can do
and we will be as one.

O America, I hear you
from your prairies to your sea
From your mountains front and all through the land
you are beautiful to me

O America, you're calling
I can hear you calling me
You are calling me to be true to thee,
true to thee I will be

And I will answer you
and I will take your hand
and lead you to the sun.

And I will stand by you,
do all that I can do
and we will be as one.

O America, you're calling
I will ever answer thee
