Listen to the music: Maestro Sersea – The Immigrant Ballads, Vol. 1
Sing along with the lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I appreciate, and hold America dear,
There’s no other place where I’d rather be here.
Gave it all up just to feel the fresh air,
To live at my best, put my heart in a prayer.
I came from a land where dreams were so scarce,
Corruption and pain, it was too much to bear.
But now I’m standing strong, with hope in my eyes,
Proud to call this home, beneath these wide skies.
[Chorus]
I’m proud to be here, in this land of the free,
A chance to work hard, to be all I can be.
Left behind the struggle, the hurt and the strife,
To reach for the top and build me a life.
Thank you for welcoming, for believe in me,
Together with faith and with love we’ll succeed.
[Verse 2]
Rolling up my sleeves, ready to take a stand,
I’ve got lots to give, and I’m proud of this land.
Generations ago, they walked in my shoes,
Fought through the troubles; they had nothing to lose.
So I’ll carry their fire, let it light up my way,
With every hard day, I grow stronger, I stay.
[Chorus]
I’m proud to be here, in this land of the free,
A chance to work hard, to be all I can be.
Left behind the struggle, the hurt and the strife,
To reach for the top and build me a life.
Thank you for welcoming, for believe in me,
Together with faith and with love we’ll succeed.
[Bridge]
Nothing’s ever easy, but I’m willing to try,
With determination and dreams, I’ll spread my wings and fly.
As I weave my story, I’m learning from the past,
It’s a beautiful journey, and I’m home at last.
[Chorus]
I’m proud to be here, in this land of the free,
A chance to work hard, to be all I can be.
Left behind the struggle, the hurt and the strife,
To reach for the top and build me a life.
Thank you for welcoming, for believe in me,
Together with faith and with love we’ll succeed.
[Outro]
So here’s to the future, with a heart full of cheer,
In this land of opportunity, I’m proud to be here.
