LYRICS
I'm the river, I'm the rain
The lonesome whistle of a train I'm the amber waves of grain
I'm the highway, I'm the farm
The fertile fields and boulevards
The hand that rests over your heart
Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm the echo of the bell that’s ringing
Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm the freedom in the song we’re singing
I'm the seed that’s in the dust
I'm the prayer “in God we trust”
A place to dream for all of us
I'm America
I'm the music to the dance
The open window to a chance
The place where courage takes a stance
All the colors that you see
The lights from thirty thousand feet
Yeah...I’m the roar of victory!
Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm the echo of the bell that’s ringing
Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm the freedom in the song we’re singing
I'm the seed that’s in the dust
I'm the prayer “in God we trust”
A place to dream for all of us
I'm America, oh yes I am
I'm the fathers, I'm the sons
I'm the footprints in the mud
I'm a shelter washed in blood
Don't you know I'm America?
I came here with nothing that's all I know
I'm the seed that’s in the dust
I'm the prayer “in God we trust”
A place to dream for all of us
I'm America, oh yes I am
I'm America
I'm proud to be a Puerto Rican American
I'm an American
I love this country, oh yes I do

José Feliciano is a nine-time Grammy and Lifetime Achievement Award winning Puerto Rican-born musician, singer and composer. He is known for many international hits, including his rendition of “California Dreamin’” featured in Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 hit movie “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood”, The Doors’ “Light My Fire”, “Che Sarà”, “La Copa Rota”, “Por Qué Te Tengo Que Olvidar?”, and one of the best-selling Christmas songs of all time “Feliz Navidad”. In 1968, Feliciano stirred national controversy and made history as the first artist ever to stylize the national anthem. His soulful recording of “The Star-Spangled Banner” became the first version of the anthem to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. José Feliciano's new album "Behind This Guitar" was produced by long-time collaborator and Grammy-nominated producer Rick Jarrard. It features the single "Behind This Guitar" and a cover of "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac.

Great work! Proud of Jose Feliciano, proud to be from Puerto Rico and to be American. Thank you!

So Beautiful it Gave me chills 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💥❤️
The first time I heard the man he was on a variety television show in B&W. All those years and the voice and the playing continue to compel every time you hear him. Nothing has gone backward with him and he's better than he's ever been.
If you wanted to put the "Iconic" tag on a performer, this guy's the one.
He'll go down in history as one of the very finest that ever came down the pike...
Maestro, gracias! Que hermosura, que frescura! Talento sin límites que une pueblos, lenguas, culturas y corazones. Y generaciones, también! Abrazo desde argentina.
I am so moved by this, Jose. Thank you. We need this badly right now.
I'm proud of you Jose Feliciano
Man what a song!!! I feel that any compliment would fail to do this song justice , it always brings tears to my eyes. I think it’s a song we all can get behind!!!!!
I really enjoyed your interview on EWTN. Thank you for reminding the good each of us can bring if we reach out in love.
BEAUTIFUL SONG. ALL THE WORDS IN THIS SONG IS TRUE.

José Feliciano, uno de mis primeros maestros a distancia. Escuchaba su guitarra a muy temprana edad y me aprendí todas sus canciones de aquella época. Aún a mis 62's las puedo tocar. Bendiciones!!

Thee One and Only Jose Feliciano is pure artistry . His voice and guitar playing is what makes him so unique and one of the greatest performers of all time. By the way Jose...the choir sounds great.
Man, I love the choir too! Rick Jarrard, my producer, envisioned their sound on the track for the very beginning! We're so blessed to have them on it.
@@josefeliciano6112 Dear Jose...first of all thanking you for your personal reply... Sir I am deeply honoured . Like all your past albums over the years...Behind this Guitar...is uniquely a masterpiece...and such a pleasure to listen to sir. Your phenomenal staying power is unfailing and can never be matched. I have been a religious fan of yours since your first album. Take care..be safe...and God keep you and your family in the palm of his hand. Best regards... Selwyn Katz.
