Itâs a high school prom, itâs a Springsteen song, itâs a ride in a Chevrolet
Itâs a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids sellinâ lemonade
Itâs cities and farms, itâs open arms, one nation under God
Itâs AmericaâCause itâs a kid with a chance, itâs a rock ân roll band
Itâs a farmer cuttinâ hay
Itâs a big flag flyinâ in a summer wind
Over a fallen heroâs grave
