KBC Band - America lyrics

rate me

Sing a song of america<br />

Once she was a young girl with her heart on fire<br />

Born in the dust of the magic of history<br />

It all goes on yeah the dream goes on<br />

<br />

Streets of gold<br />

Streets of wonder<br />

Streets of people growing stronger<br />

Revolution and voices of thunder<br />

It's a<br />

New world, new people<br />

New dreams for all of the children<br />

Young country, new love<br />

New dreams of freedom<br />

<br />

And it all goes on<br />

Yes it all goes on<br />

And it all goes on<br />

In america<br />

In america<br />

<br />

In the streets of america<br />

Back in the summer of '85<br />

I met a young girl, her heart was in flames<br />

Jenny bowen was her name<br />

She was a california girl<br />

War had changed her whole world<br />

Her daddy died in vietnam<br />

She lost her husband in lebanon<br />

She was drivin' back to washington<br />

To get a medal for the job they'd done<br />

From the president of the united fuckin' states of america<br />

<br />

And she saw hungry people in the streets<br />

Young mothers who could not eat<br />

Oh I remember american dreams<br />

We've all talked of american dreams<br />

<br />

And it all goes on<br />

Yes the dreams go on<br />

And it all goes on<br />

In america<br />

In america<br />

In america<br />

In america<br />

<br />

Something's happening in america<br />

Can you feel it? can you feel it comin'?<br />

It's like the green party in germany<br />

Young people with visions and dreams<br />

In nicaragua n' chile, poland and south africa<br />

Freedom brewing, it's an uphill dream<br />

<br />

Don't be afraid of anything<br />

Don't be afraid of anyone<br />

<br />

Young men are dreaming and<br />

Young girls believing<br />

And asking questions like<br />

<br />

Where are the frontiers?<br />

How do I get there?<br />

There are no maps, there are no roads<br />

Just you and me on these streets of gold<br />

<br />

And it all goes on<br />

Yes it all goes on<br />

And it all goes on<br />

And on and on and on and on and on<br />

And on and on and on<br />

Streets of america<br />

Streets of america... go on
