Letra de The House I Live In (Live On The Ed Sullivan Show, April 27, 1969)
The house, I live in A plot of earth, a street The church, the school, the clubhouse And the people, that I meetAnd the children, in the playground All the faces, that I see All races, all religions That's America, to meAnd this place, I work in And the worker, by my side This little town, or city Where my people, lived and diedAnd the men, who built our country And this air, of feeling free And the right, the right to spea,k my language That's America, to meThe things, I see about me The big things, and the small That little, corner newsstand And the house, a mile tallThe wedding, in the churchyard The laughter, and the tears This dream, that must keep growin For another thousand yearsThis place, I live in And the goodness, everywhere That promise, for tomorrow With enough, for all to shareAnd the pavement, of the city And the million lights, I see But especially, the people That's America, to me
