"Strangers Here" lyrics

Your father taught you all you know
Never took a holiday
If you work your fingers to the bone
You won't forget the price you paid

Taken in the dead of night
Across the river as a babe
Lived a lifetime doing right
We're all strangers here

The dreams not gone
No, it's not dead
American dream gone to our head
The dreams not gone
No, it's not dead
American dream gone to our head

I saw Jesus in the field
With Maria and José
The sacrifice they make is real
We're all strangers here

The dreams not gone
No, it's not dead
American dream gone to our head
The dreams not gone
No, it's not dead
American dream gone to our head

For a thousand years it's been the same
A trail of tears across the plains
We're all strangers here
We're all strangers here

In a dream I had to leave
All alone I felt the pain
Left behind my family
We're all strangers here

The dreams not gone
No it's not dead
American dream gone to our head
The dreams not gone
No, it's not dead
American dream gone to our head

The dreams not gone
No it's not dead
American dream gone to our head
The dreams not gone
No, it's not dead
American dream gone to our head
