I am America...
America, beautiful and majestic,
America, the land that I love and
stand ready to defend.
I am America ... A-M-E-R-I-C-A.
A- is for accountability to myself,
others and God,
M- is for music, the most powerful
sound produced by the soul.
E- is for enlightenment, knowledge
and wisdom, the essence of potential,
R- is  for responsibility,  personal,
and soical in all that I am and all 
that I do,
I- is for integrity expressed while
standing inviolate of my endowed
divinity.
C- is for compassion, the empathy
extended to everyone great and
small.
A - stands for ah that characterizes
the experience of being America.

Now you can see that I am America.
He who sees me sees America ...
A-M-E-R-I-C-A.

America's hands are my hands,
America's feet are my feet,
America's eyes are my eyes,
America's ears are my ears,
America's soul is my soul,
America's story is my story.
And I will tell it wherever I am.

I am America, proud, yet humble,
I am America, rich, yet possessor
of few material possessions,
I am America, courageous, yet
caring even while daring,
I am America, strong, yet ever
mindful that "but for the grace
of God, so Go I."

America! America! I am America!
