about

Eight vocalists came together to celebrate the contributions of American immigrants

lyrics

I was not born here, but this is my country
I work with my neighbors, I am a part of the community
I send a little money back to my family
I was not born here, but this is my country

I was not born here, but this is my country
I love the constitution, I used to dream about democracy
My children were born here, we’re an American family
I was not born here, but this is my country

This is my country, just as sure as it is yours,
It’s a land of bridges, and opening doors
This is my country, I heard the lady in the harbor call
Proclaiming liberty and justice for all

I was not born here, but this is my country
There are givers and takers in every society
I pay taxes, and social security
I was not born here, but this is my country
__________guitar break__________

I was not born here, but this is my country
Ask me and I will tell you about my flight from tyranny
I lost my home, I kept my humanity
I was not born here, but this is my country

This is my country, just as sure as it is yours,
It’s a land of bridges, and opening doors
This is my country, I heard the lady of the harbor call
Proclaiming liberty and justice for all

I was not born here, but this is my country
Every family knows its history
I think I heard your great-grandfather telling me
I was not born here, but this is my country
__________guitar break__________

And as I take my oath, nobody will disagree
I was not born here, but this is my country
