Lyrics
They sailed out on the shining sea
To find the land of liberty
Where dreams were born from the seeds of hope
A man could be his own man
And hand his dream down to his son
He will get his chance to overcome
Freedom rings
Like a hurricane
America
You were the promised land
The old man works in the shipyard
The money's tight and the works is hard
Long after the old man's gone
He's dream will sail on
He wants his children to be free
There's more than one kind of slavery
Just look at me
Freedom rings
Like a hurricane
America
You were the promised land
Don't turn your back on a lonely man
When he cries
America
Only so much one man can do
To live his life before it's through
Cutting' steel for sixty years
Giving up his blodd and tears
Now he knows he's going home
To the only freedom he will ever know
Freedom rings
Like a hurricane
America
You were the promised land
Freedom rings
Freedom rings
Like a hurricane
America
You were the promised land
Freedom rings
