[Verse 1]
I walked your blocks in rain
Found a hundred kinds of grace
On every corner, every train
New names, new dreams, new faces
From deli signs to brownstone stoops
The whole wide world fits in your room
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear it in the crowd
A thousand voices loud
Side by side, still standing proud
We make it work somehow
[Chorus]
USA, United States of
I love the way you let us grow
USA, United States of
So many hearts, one road to go
I’m proud of your open door
(Proud of your open door)
USA, United States of
I want to sing it once more
[Verse 2]
In New York, I see the proof
In every language on the wall
A bakery, a bridge, a booth
Where nobody owns it all
And in the rooms where bright minds build
You take an idea and make it real
[Pre-Chorus]
From the subway to the sky
You keep the future in your eye
Different hands, one honest try
That’s the reason why
[Chorus]
USA, United States of
I love the way you let us grow
USA, United States of
So many hearts, one road to go
I’m proud of your open door
(Proud of your open door)
USA, United States of
I want to sing it once more
[Bridge]
Keep the lights on in the town
Keep the old and new around
Let every child find a sound
That says, you belong now
I cherish what you carry
The bold, the free, the many
[Final Chorus]
USA, United States of
I love the way you let us grow
USA, United States of
So many hearts, one road to go
I’m proud of your open door
(Proud of your open door)
USA, United States of
That’s the song I’m living for
