(Chorus)
Sweet Alma Rose, takes me away
From sea to shining sea
Her music takes me away

trapped, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Fear all around, when two worlds collide
Oh play, play for me, that's the sweet sounding melody
From the land where "God shed His grace on thee"

(Chorus)

Just a victim, a pawn, for dogs of war
"Never forget, always remember"
So play, play for me, that sweet sounding melody
From the land where "God sheds His grace on thee"

(Chorus)

My country 'Tis of thee
Sweet sound of liberty
Let freedom ring
