Song by U2<br /><br>

Oh my love <br>

It’s a long way we’ve come <br>

From the freckled hills to the steel and glass canyons <br>

From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky <br>

From digging in our pockets, for a reason not to say goodbye <br>

<br>

These are the hands, that build America. <br>

Ahhhh America. <br>

<br>

I last saw your face in a watercolour sky <br>

As sea birds argued a long goodbye <br>

I took your kiss on the spray of the new line star <br>

You gotta live with your dreams <br>

Don't make them so hard, ohh ohh. <br>

<br>

And these are the hands, that built America. <br>

Ahhhh America. <br>

<br>

Of all of the promises <br>

Is this one we could keep? <br>

Of all of the dreams <br>

Is this one still out of reach? <br>

<br>

Halle, Ole <br>

<br>

It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York sky line. <br>

Innocence, dragged across a yellow line. <br>

<br>

These are the hands that built America. <br>

These are the hands that built America. <br>

Ahhhh America. <br>

Ahhhh America.<br>

<br>
