Norah Jones - The War, A Ken Burns Film, The Soundtrack

American Anthem

All we've been given
By those who came before
The dream of a nation
Where freedom would endure
The work and prayers of centuries
Have brought us to this day

What shall be our legacy?
What will our children say?
Let them say of me
I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings
I received

Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America, America
I gave my best to you

Each generation from the plains
To distant shore with the gifts
What they were given
Were determined to leave more

Battles fought together
Acts of conscience fought alone
These are the seeds
From which America has grown

Let them say of me
I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings
That I received

Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America, America
I gave my best to you

For those who think
They have nothing to share
Who fear in their hearts
There is no hero there

Know each quiet act of dignity
Is that which fortifies
The soul of a nation
That never dies

Let them say of me
I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings
I received

Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America, America
I gave my best to you
America
I gave my best to you
