Melodies of America

"The New World's Call"

Verse 1:
In sixteen hundred and seven,
Brave souls crossed the sea,
To Jamestown they did venture,
In search of destiny.Chorus:
Oh, the New World calls us onward,
Through forest, field, and shore,
From England's distant harbors,
To America's wild door.

Verse 2:
The Pilgrims sailed the Mayflower,
To Plymouth's rocky coast,
For freedom of religion,
They braved the tempest's boast.

Verse 3:
From New Amsterdam to Georgia,
Thirteen colonies grew,
With toil and perseverance,
A nation strong and new.

Verse 4:
The French and Indian War came,
Our mettle put to test,
United we did stand then,
From east coast to the west.

Final Chorus:
Oh, the New World calls us onward,
Through forest, field, and shore,
From England's distant harbors,
To America's wild door.
Our roots are deeply planted,
In this land we adore.
