| There’s a song in the dust of a county road
|
| On the wind it comes to call,
|
| And it sings in the farms and the fac’try towns
|
| Where you think there’d be no song at all.
|
| And the words are the words that our fathers heard
|
| As they whistled down the years,
|
| And the name of the song is the name of the dream
|
| And it’s music to our ears.
|
| America, America, and the dream goes on !
|
| America, America, and the dream goes on !
|
| And the words that we read on the courthouse walls
|
| And the words that make us free
|
| And the more we remember the way we began
|
| The closer we get to the best we can be.
|
| Was there ever a time we forgot it’s worth
|
| All the struggles and the scars
|
| If we leave to the children a sky full of hope
|
| And a flag that’s filled with stars.
|
| America, America, and the dream goes on !
|
| Remember the voice of Jefferson
|
| And the sound of Thomas Paine,
|
| Lincoln sang at Gettysberg about America.
|
| Listen well to the wind and you can hear
|
| From Oregon to Maine,
|
| America, America !
|
| There’s a song in the dust of a country road
|
| It’s a song we must recall
|
| And it sings in the farms and th fac’try towns
|
| And where you think there’d be no song at all.
|
| And the words are the words that our fathers heard
|
| As they whistled down the years,
|
| And the name of the song is the name of the dream
|
| And it’s music to our ears.
|
| America, America, and the dream goes on !
|
| Think of Roosevelt and Kennedy
|
| And of Martin Luther King
|
| And the way they sang a song about America
|
| Listen well to the wind, its always there
|
| And it’s asking us to sing,
|
| America, America !
|
| Though the voices are changing,
|
| The song’s the same as it sings from sea to sea,
|
| And as long as the music is strong and clear
|
| We’ll know that tomorrow will always be free.
|
| America, and the dream goes on !
|
| America, and the dream goes on !
|
| America, America, America, America, and the dream goes on ! |
