Gloria Estefan - America

The moment my eyes were open
That's when I started loving you
And deep in my heart
Your name will live forever
I am who I am because of you

My Father spoke of you to me
Since I can remember
His words became the very spark
That lit the ember

You opened your arms and held me
Nurtured me with a Mother's love
I want to give back
Because to me you've given
The hope that I can always rise above

And I will fight each day to prove
That I deserve it
If there's a thing that you hold true
I will preserve it

I look to you with so much pride and admiration
You are the source of all my goals and aspirations
My inspiration

America
I'll live and die to keep you
America
Whatever it may lead to
America
I'll honor and defend you
America
Even in the moments I don't understand you
America
It's you that I belong to
America
And everything I've gone through
America
Is worth the sacrifice
America

May your spirit be forever brave
Your flag forever wave
America

Just to be free, so many
Struggled to make you what you are
Trading the colors of their flags for yours
In the hopes it would take them very far
Climbing each hurdle on the way to new horizons
While risking everything
No fear, no compromises

Help us to realize the dreams that we have borrowed
I pray you'll be the one that leads
So we can follow into tomorrow

America
I'll live and die to keep you
America
Whatever it may lead to
America
I'll honor and defend you
America
Even in the moments I don't understand you
America
It's you that I belong to
America
And everything I've gone through
America
Is worth the sacrifice
America

May your spirit be forever brave
Your flag forever wave

America
We celebrated the good times
America
Help me on through bad times
America
I'll honor and defend you
America

America
It's you that I belong to
America
And everything I've gone through
America
Is worth the sacrifice

America
America
America
