America for Me

Tis fine to see the Old World
and travel up and down
Among the famous places
and cities of renown
To admire the crumbly castles
and the statues of the kings--
But now I think I've had enough
of antiquated things.
So it's home again, and home again,

America for me
Oh, it's home again, and home again,
America for me!
To the blessed Land of Room Enough
Beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight
and the flag is full of stars.

Henry Van Dyke
