about
This is a love song to the people of America, but a song tinged with sadness and mourning.
lyrics
America – a love story
By This is the Story, featuring Veronica Martell
Close Encounters, Back to the Future, Black Panther and Spider Man
Casablanca, The Greatest Showman and Singing in the Rain
America… you really cast a spell
When we see you shooting movies, we raise… a toast to your health
The Celtics, and the Rockets… the Warriors and the Bulls
The Spurs, and the Lakers… every game a duel
America… it’s something you do so well
When we see you out there shooting hoops,
we raise a toast to your health
You’ve had Letterman, Johnny Carson, Jerry Springer and Oprah too
The Daily Show, The Late Show, there’s always something new
America… you’ve got such a story to tell
And when we hear you shooting the breeze,
we raise a toast to your health
We cheered when you landed on the Moon, now you’re sending rockets to Mars
You don’t do it because it’s easy, you do it because it’s hard
The story of the universe is a tale that still compels
When we see you shooting for the stars, we raise a toast to your health.
Shooting hoops, shooting pool. It’s something you do so well
And when you’re shooting movies, you hold us under a spell
When we see you shooting for the stars, we raise a toast to your health
