This patriotic song for kids is about America and I wrote this song from direct responses from children across the United States and what they told me this country means to them. Celebrate our United States of America as we sing about all the things that make this country great and what makes us proud to live in the United States of America. This song is a great song to celebrate the 4th of July, Independence Day, Memorial Day, President's Day or everyday we are able to celebrate our country and freedom.

Lyrics
When I think about America
I think of so many things
It's my country the United States
And it means so much to me

Green, green forests
Green, green forests
Having nice schools
Having nice schools
Voting for the president
Voting for the president
Red, white and blue
Red, white and blue
Playing in my neighborhood
Playing in my neighborhood
Believing in dreams
Believing in dreams
This is America to me

Celebrating holidays
Celebrating holidays
Pledge to our flag
Pledge to our flag
Great big mountains
Great big mountains
Learning all you can
Learning all you can
All different colors
All different colors
Being what you want to be
Being what you want to be
This is America to me

This is America, land that I love
My country the United States
Under one shining sun
So many different people
Together proud and free
This is America
America to me

All kinds of ice cream
All kinds of ice cream
Animals on farms
Animals on farms
Families at Thanksgiving
Families at Thanksgiving
Boats, trains and cars
Boats, trains and cars
Helping each other
Helping each other
People I love
People I love
This is America to me

This is America, land that I love
My country the United States
Under one shining sun
So many different people
Together proud and free
This is America
America to me

This is America, land that I love
My country the United States
Under one shining sun
So many different people
Together proud and free
This is America
America to me
This is America
America to me
