Lyrics

The lyrics for both versions of Anthem For the Millennium (America, My Home!) are printed for your convenience below.

Version 1 (popular CD version) Lyrics

I have seen the torch of freedom pass from hand to yearning hand
And the vision of our fathers spread hope throughout this land
As the dream some fought and died for in my heart, becomes my own
I will strive to keep her promise, America, my home!

America!, America! May God bless America!
And freedom reign across America, my home!

From the shorelines to the prairies to the cities, great and small
We have reaped the fruits of justice and liberty for all
So with deep appreciation for the blessings we have known
I will honor her forever, America, my home!

America!, America! May God bless America!
And freedom reign across America, my home!

America!, America! May God bless America!
And freedom reign across America, my home!
May freedom reign across America, my home!

Version 2 (full orchestral version) Lyrics

I have seen the torch of freedom pass from hand to yearning hand
And the vision of our fathers spread hope throughout this land
As the dream some fought and died for in my heart, becomes my own
I will strive to keep her promise, America, my home!

From the shorelines to the prairies to the cities, great and small
We have reaped the fruits of justice and liberty for all
So with deep appreciation for the blessings we have known
I will honor her forever, America, my home!

America!, America! God bless this land I love!
May He keep, protect, and guide her through centuries unknown
God keep, protect, and guide her, America, my home!

America!, America!, my home!
