Liberty For All

[Verse 1]
Got a hand-me-down map
Folded thin in my back blue jean
From a dirt road town
To a skyline I’d only seen on a screen
I stepped off that bus
Heart loud as a Fourth of July
Chasing more than a paycheck
Chasing room for a dream to fly
[Chorus]
I love America, wide open sky
From the cotton fields
To the mountains high
Every color, every voice
Same old heart, different drawl
I’m proud of this land
And a chance for everybody
I cherish liberty for all
[Verse 2]
There’s a diner off the highway
Booth by the humming fan
Short-order cook from Georgia
Cashier born in Pakistan
We pass the hot sauce around
Share stories between the fries
Different prayers, same blessing
Grateful tears in the same tired eyes
[Chorus]
I love America, wide open sky
From the border towns
To the northern pines
Every language, every laugh
Same old hope in us all
I’m proud of this land
And a chance for everybody
I cherish liberty for all
[Bridge]
We don’t always get it right
We stumble, we fight
But we keep on saying
We can be better than we were last night
Hand in hand at the parade
Old guitar, kids in the yard
Singing loud through the hard times
Holding tight to this fragile heart
[Chorus]
I love America, wide open sky
From the dusty roads
To the bright porch lights
Every neighbor, every name
Answering the same soft call
I’m proud of this land
And a chance for everybody
Yeah, I’m proud of this land
And a chance for everybody
I cherish liberty for all
