Lyrics
Verse 1:
In the summer of '62, beneath a monsoon sky,
Thunder rollin', rain a-fallin', as I let out my first cry.
After the big thunder, in the heart of the storm,
People heard the cry of a baby being born.
Chorus:
From India's shores to the land of the free,
With hope in my heart, America called to me.
From ancient wonders to wide-open plains,
I never dreamed I'd be living this way.
Verse 2:
At sixteen years old, I saw the world with new eyes,
Left the home I knew for the Western skies.
With my folks by my side, we sailed across the sea,
To a land where the pilgrims' dreams ran free.
Chorus:
From India's shores to the land of the free,
With hope in my heart, America called to me.
From ancient wonders to wide-open plains,
I never dreamed I'd be living this way.
Bridge:
Now my folks rest in peace, their journey's done,
And I'm here in America, under the same sun.
With two amazing kids, grandkids so dear,
A daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, my heart's so clear.
Verse 3:
In America, I created two stars, my kids so bright,
And they produced three more stars, filling my life with light.
Selling real estate, land for the keys,
In the land where George Washington's dreams seized.
Chorus:
From India's shores to the land of the free,
With hope in my heart, America called to me.
From ancient wonders to wide-open plains,
I never dreamed I'd be living this way.
Verse 4:
I'm so thankful for Jesus, His covering over me,
In this blessed land, where I am free.
With His grace and love guiding my way,
I cherish each moment, each and every day.
Outro:
For almost five decades, I've loved this land,
Helping folks own a piece where they stand.
I wouldn't change a thing, my heart's so full,
In this land of freedom, where dreams do pull.
