America [French translation]

The moment my eyes were open

That's when I started loving you

And deep in my heart

Your name will live forever

I am who I am because of you

My Father spoke of you to me

Since I can remember

His words became the very spark

That lit the ember

You opened your arms and held me

Nurtured me with a Mother's love

I want to give back

Because to me you've given

The hope that I can always rise above

And I will fight each day to prove

That I deserve it

If there's a thing that you hold true

I will preserve it

I look to you with so much pride and admiration

You are the source of all my goals and aspirations

My inspiration

America

I'll live and die to keep you

America

Whatever it may lead to

America

I'll honor and defend you

America

Even in the moments I don't understand you

America

It's you that I belong to

America

And everything I've gone through

America

Is worth the sacrifice

America

May your spirit be forever brave

Your flag forever wave

America

Just to be free, so many

Struggled to make you what you are

Trading the colors of their flags for yours

In the hopes it would take them very far

Climbing each hurdle on the way to new horizons

While risking everything

No fear, no compromises

Help us to realize the dreams that we have borrowed

I pray you'll be the one that leads

So we can follow into tomorrow

America

I'll live and die to keep you

America

Whatever it may lead to

America

I'll honor and defend you

America

Even in the moments I don't understand you

America

It's you that I belong to

America

And everything I've gone through

America

Is worth the sacrifice

America

May your spirit be forever brave

Your flag forever wave

America

We celebrated the good times

America

Help me on through bad times

America

I'll honor and defend you

America

America

It's you that I belong to

America

And everything I've gone through

America

Is worth the sacrifice

America

America

America
