In The Eyes Of The World (Lewis)


Once there were men out testin' every way
When this country was still young
This was a land of equality, a home for the refugee
And people were always ready to lend a hand

In the eyes of the world this was America
And it was not so long ago
What do we now to make a stand,
build a home of this old land
What makes a man so proud to say

In the eyes of the world this was a new frontier
A place were men can walk on common ground
Thinking for themselves and living free from fear
And everyone can come and settle down

All across the nation from the East and West
And in the mid a spirit's growing strong
Grounded on the sense of our own liberty
There is a common feel to carry on

In the eyes of the world this was America
And it was not so long ago
What do we need some foreign for?
This country's got an open door
Makin' a man so proud to say

In the eyes of the world this was America
And it was not so long ago
