American Dream Vers1 Once a million different people left a million different lands, To seek a million dreams upon the same far golden sand, From a million different heartaches with a longing each their own, For a million different shores within this same united home. Vers2 Each to build their futures from their longings and their dreams, Hands to work and worlds to build but nowadays it seems, The hands can’t find a hold upon the promise we once knew, And hearts can’t know the faith in what our fathers held as true. Chorus Verses 1/2 The American dream has left us far behind, Our future seems to be so hard to find, We seek it still and work and dream and pray, We always will…but it seems so far away. Vers3 Our fathers showed how working hard and never giving in, Would bring us all the best in life and in the end we’d win, We work as hard as ever and we fight for our new day, We keep the faith and seek the dream but now can’t find the way. Vers4 We’re fathers now with children watching how we climb this hill, We have so many tests to face and goals to meet and still, We can’t give up and teach them that our future isn’t there, They have to see that they can do whatever they can dare. Chorus 3 The American dream is still within our reach, Our duty is to practice what we preach, To seek it still and work and dream and pray, We know we will and make our better day. Reprise It’s my American Dream Oh… it’s my American Dream, And it’s not so far away…
