An American Hymn (Voice)

I have seen a summer day

That slowly opens like a rose

Along a quiet road that wanders by

And I have smiled and wonder'd

Where it goes

I have stumbled through the night

Alone as any man can be

Then found a silent canyon full of stars

And in my heart I heard them telling me

I was home

The gentle winds, the rains that fall

The tallest trees, and I'm part of it all

I've seen the silver mountain tops

And golden prairies on my way

Now everywhere I go across the land

I stand so proudly in the sun and say

I am home

I've dreamed of eden all my life

I find it more and more each day

Now everywhere I go across the land

I stand so proudly in the sun and say

I am home
