Alexander Rybak - American Dream Lyrics

Alexander Rybak Lyrics

"American Dream"

Long time ago I heard of you
The most amazing land
Where every stranger's welcomed in
With open heart and hand
Where justice wears a shining crown
And never turns away
America, America
Please wash my sins today

I heard no man is turned aside
By color, faith or name
And wealth rewards the pure of heart
With a holy walk of fame
And angels fly in Marvel capes
As soldiers of Lord
America, America
Please hand me my reward

But now I see the Golden Gates
Are made of painted glass
The glory song you promised me
It was never meant to last
There is no country, no such stage
Where man at last is free
America, America
You'll always be my dream
