American Dreams

Dreams
something I see
when I'm asleep
in my mind

Reach
for what you seek
strong or the weak
at any time

I looked around and I said

(Chorus)
One will rob and one will win
Realizing what might have been
Look at all the things you've seen
Living American Dreams

Soar, could there be more
Through your front door
You will go

There
Almost anywhere
To where you care
High or low

They looked around and I said

(chorus)


Gone
Didn't take long
To righteous Babylon
In charming chains

Free
All that can be
Far as you see
It's why you came

They looked around and they said

(chorus)
