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.
