As the youngest member Chloe explained to the audience at a recent concert,"’O, America!’ is a dedication to the first country to welcome us as Celtic Woman. You are our true inspiration! We feel as though we are part of your family now and for that we are very honored and proud."
In just four short years, the group has sold more than 4 million CDs and DVDs, played seven US tours, and performed for more than 800,000 people. Meanwhile, the three Celtic Woman PBS Specials have aired more than 13,658 times on 685 PBS stations across the country, covering 97% of US television households. The group will continue to perform "O, America!" in their Isle of Hope tour that runs through July. “O, America!” will also be included on the group’s upcoming PBS TV special scheduled to premiere on the network in December.
LYRICS
O, America, you're calling
I can hear you calling me
You are calling me…to be true to thee
True to thee… I will be
O, America, you’re weeping
Let me heal your wounded heart
I will keep you in my keeping
Till there’ll be... a new start
[Chorus]
And I will answer you, and I will take your hand
And lead you to the sun
And I will stand by you… do all that I can do
And we will be as one
O, America, I hear you
From your prairies to the sea
From your mountains grand… and all through this land
You are beautiful to me
O, America, you’re calling
I can hear you calling me
You are calling me… to be true to thee
True to thee… I will be
O, America, you’re calling
I… will ever answer thee
