The Hands That Built America
Oh my love, it's a long way we've comeFrom the freckled hills to the steel and glass canyonsFrom the stony fields, to hanging steel from the skyFrom digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye
These are the hands that built America(Russian, Sioux, Dutch, Hindu)Oh, oh oh, America(Polish, Irish, German, Italian)
Last saw your face in a watercolour skyAs sea birds argue, a long goodbyeI took your kiss, on the spray of the new line starYou gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard
And these are the hands, that built America(The Irish, the Blacks, the Chinese, the Jews)Ah, ah ah, America / Hand(Korean, Hispanic, Muslim, Indian)
Of all of the promises, is this one we could keepOf all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach
Out ta outa reeeach(Dream-oh-yeah)(Oh oh-dream, oh love)
It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skylineInnocence, dragged across a yellow line
These are the hands that built AmericaThese are the hands that built AmericaAh-ah-ah-ah-ah America
