MY SAY: A SONG ON THANKSGIVING DAY
THE HOUSE I LIVE IN-1943
What is America to me
A name, a map, or a flag I see
A certain word, democracy
What is America to me
A name, a map, or a flag I see
A certain word, democracy
What is America to me
The house I live in
A plot of Earth, a street
The grocer and the butcher
And the people that I meet
A plot of Earth, a street
The grocer and the butcher
And the people that I meet
The children in the playground
The faces that I see
All races and religions
That’s America to me
The faces that I see
All races and religions
That’s America to me
For the rest of the lyrics go to the internet…..It is an interesting story. The music was written by Earl Robinson and the lyrics by Abel Meeropol, a communist, who later adopted the sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Happy Thanksgiving!
