be	A
Let it be the pioneer on the plain	B
Seeking a home where he himself is free	A
	-
America never was America to me	A
	-
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed	C
Let it be that great strong land of love	D
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme	E
That any man be crushed by one above	D
	-
It never was America to me	A
	-
O let my land be a land where Liberty	A
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath	F
But opportunity is real and life is free	A
Equality is in the air we breathe	G
	-
There's never been equality for me	A
Nor freedom in this homeland of the free	A
	-
Say who are you that mumbles in the dark	H
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars	I
	-
I am the poor white fooled and pushed apart	J
I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars	I
I am the red man driven from the land	K
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek	L
And finding only the same old stupid plan	M
Of dog eat dog of mighty crush the weak	L
	-
I am the young man full of strength and hope	N
Tangled in that ancient endless chain	B
Of profit power gain of grab the land	K
Of grab the gold Of grab the ways of satisfying need	O
Of work the men Of take the pay	P
Of owning everything for one's own greed	O
	-
I am the farmer bondsman to the soil	Q
I am the worker sold to the machine	R
I am the Negro servant to you all	S
I am the people humble hungry mean	R
Hungry yet today despite the dream	E
Beaten yet today O Pioneers	T
I am the man who never got ahead	U
The poorest worker bartered through the years	T
	-
Yet I'm the one who dreamt our basic dream	E
In the Old World while still a serf of kings	V
Who dreamt a dream so strong so brave so true	W
That even yet its mighty daring sings	V
In every brick and stone in every furrow turned	X
That's made America the land it has become	Y
O I'm the man who sailed those early seas	Z
In search of what I meant to be my home	A2
For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore	B2
And Poland's plain and England's grassy lea	A
And torn from Black Africa's strand I came	C2
To build a homeland of the free	A
	-
The free	A
	-
Who said the free Not me	A
Surely not me The millions on relief today	P
The millions shot down when we strike	D2
The millions who have nothing for our pay	P
For all the dreams we've dreamed	C
And all the songs we've sung	E2
And all the hopes we've held	F2
And all the flags we've hung	E2
The millions who have nothing for our pay	P
Except the dream that's almost dead today	P
	-
O let America be America again	G2
The land that never has been yet	H2
And yet must be the land where every man is free	A
The land that's mine the poor man's Indian's Negro's ME	A
Who made America	I2
Whose sweat and blood whose faith and pain	B
Whose hand at the foundry whose plow in the rain	B
Must bring back our mighty dream again	G2
	-
Sure call me any ugly name you choose	J2
The steel of freedom does not stain	B
From those who live like leeches on the people's lives	K2
We must take back our land again	G2
America	I2
	-
O yes	L2
I say it plain	B
America never was America to me	A
And yet I swear this oath	M2
America will be	A
	-
Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death	N2
The rape and rot of graft and stealth and lies	O2
We the people must redeem	E
The land the mines the plants the rivers	P2
The mountains and the endless plain	B
All all the stretch of these great green states	Q2
And make America again	G2
