America, Why I Love Her

You ask me Why I Love Her
Well, give me time and I'll explain
Have you seen a Kansas sunset
Or an Arizona rain
Have you drifted on a bayou
Down Louisiana way
Have you watched a cold fog drifting
Over San Francisco Bay
Have you heard a bobwhite calling
In the Carolina pines

Or heard the bellow of a diesel
At the Appalachia mines
Does the call of Niagara thrill you
When you hear her waters roar
Do you look with awe and wonder
At her Massachusetts shore
Where men who braved a hard new world
First stepped on Plymouth's rock
And do you think of them when you stroll
Along a New York City dock
Have you seen a snowflake drifting
In the Rockies, way up high

Have you seen the sun come blazing down
From a bright Nevada sky
Do you hail to the Columbia
As she rushes to the sea
Or bow your head at Gettysburg
At our struggle to be free
Have you seen the mighty Tetons
Have you watched an eagle soar
Have you seen the Mississippi
Roll along Missouri's shore

Have you felt a chill at Michigan
When on a winter's day
Her waters rage along the shore
In thunderous display
Does the word "Aloha" make you warm
Do you stare in disbelief
When you see the surf
Come roaring in at Waimea Reef
From Alaska's cold to the Everglades

From the Rio Grande to Maine
My heart cries out, my pulse runs fast
At the might of her domain
You ask me Why I Love Her
I've a million reasons why
My Beautiful America
Beneath God's wide, wide sky
