My daddy said he,
he came here to love this land
And like my daddy, I was raised to love this land
Hard working people son to son
and doing the best that they can
They came here only hearts in hand
A feat that any honest man could understand

You can hear the voices calling
In the heart of America
Can you hear the voices calling
In the Heart of America

When I was a young boy
I swore I'd try to fill his shoes
When you're born with nothing,
you aint got nothing left to lose
But you gotta listen people,
cause we're got something yeah
Were in the heart of America
With your back against the wall,
there aint no relief in sight
Like soldiers we can take it,
well, make it through the cold dark night

You can hear the voices calling
In the heart of America
Can you hear the voices calling
In the Heart of America
You can hear the voices calling
In the heart of America
And all the people theyre singing
sha la la la la sha la la la
In the heart of America
Sha la la la la sha la la la
In the heart of America

And I hope that someday,
that I might live to have a son
And I would teach him all the things
That his daddys daddy had done
But when that someday comes
Will you tell your son about the
Heart of America
Of America

You can hear the voices calling
In the heart of America
Can you hear the voices calling
In the Heart of America
Can you hear the voices calling
In the heart of America
Everybodys singing sha la la la
Sha la la la la sha la la la
