    "In America"
    My mother came from England, my father came from Rome,
    My uncle came from Ireland in search of a new home.
    They came in search of freedom, a better life ahead,
    And as they left their families, this is what they said,
     
    (Chorus)
    "In America, in America, we'll start our lives a new in America.
    In America, in America, our dreams will all come true in America."
     
    My grandma came from Poland, my grandpa came from Greece,
    My cousins came from Germany, they came in search of peace.
    They left their homes behind them, their dreams all lay ahead,
    And as they headed westward, this is what they said,
     
    (Chorus)
     
     
    "Hello to All the Children of the World"
     
    (Chorus)
    Hello, Bonjour, Buenos dias!
    G'day, Guten-Tag, Konichiwa.....
    Ciao, Shalom, Do-Brey dien,
    Hello to all the children of the world!
     
    We live in different places from all around the world.
    We speak in many different ways!
    Though some things may be different,
    We're children just the same-
    And we all like to sing and play!
     
    (Chorus)
     
    There are children in the deserts,
    And children in the towns,
    And children who live down by the sea!
    If we could meet each other,
    To run and sing and play-
    Then what good friends we all could be!
     
    (Chorus)
     
     
     
    "There Are Many Flags"

    There are many flags in many lands,
    There are flags of every hue,
    But there is no flag however grand,
    Like our own red, white and blue.

    Then hurrah for the flag,
    Our country's flag,
    It's stripes and it's white stars too.
    For there is no flag in any land,
    Like our own red, white and blue.

    (Sing 2 times.)
     
     
     
    "You're a Grand Old Flag"

    You're a grand old flag,
    You're a high flying flag
    And forever in peace may you wave.
    You're the emblem of
    The land I love.
    The home of the free and the brave.
    Ev'ry heart beats true
    'neath the Red, White and Blue,
    Where there's never a boast or brag.
    But, should auld acquaintance be forgot,
    Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

    (Sing 2 times.)
     
     
     
    "Away To America"
     
    "This Land Is Your Land"

    (Refrain)

    This land is your land This land is my land
    From California to the New York island;
    From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
    This land was made for you and Me.

    As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
    I saw above me that endless skyway:
    I saw below me that golden valley:
    This land was made for you and me. 

    (Refrain)
     
    (wait...)
     
    (Refrain)
    This land was made for you and me.
