American Love Song

TROUBLED BY DREAMS THE SLEEPING GIANT AWAKENS FEELING THE PULL OF UNSEEN CHAINS. BREATHING DEEP, IT SUMMONS ALL OF       IT’S STRENGTH...”

I WAS TOLD TO LOVE YOU FROM THE MOMENT I COULD HEAR,
THE DREAMS OF PRIDE AND GLORY THAT YOU’D WHISPER IN MY EAR
I WOULD FEEL A SHIVER WITH EACH SONG I SANG TO YOU,
AND EVERYTIME I SANG YOUR NAME I ALMOST CRIED ON CUE

I COULD NEVER TRUST YOU FROM THE MOMENT I COULD SEE,
THE FINAL PRICE OF FREEDOM AND THE REAL NAME OF LIBERTY
I’VE NEVER FELT SO ANGRY, AND NEVER SO ALONE,
AS WHEN I FOUND OUT HOW WE WON AND KEPT THIS HAPPY HOME,

JUST BE READY FOR WHEN THEY KNOCK YOU TO YOUR KNEES
YOU’LL BE CRING UNCLE - YOU’LL BE CRYING UNCLE PLEASE

OHHH, AMERICA, DON’T TURN YOUR BACK ON ME,
T’S TIME TO RE-AWAKEN THIS NOBLE REFUGEE,
AMERICA, AMERICA, NO PLACE I’D RATHER BE,
BUT IT’S TIME TO MAKE SOME CHANGES, IT’S TIME FOR LIBERTY,

KNEW I COULDN’T HATE YOU FROM THE MOMENT I COULD SPEAK,
WE ALL MAY SAY WHAT MUST BE SAID AS LONG AS WE’RE OBLIQUE
I GUESS THAT I COULD LEAVE YOU, I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’D GO,
YOU AND I TOGETHER IS ALL I’VE EVER KNOWN,

JUST BE READY FOR WHEN THEY KNOCK YOU TO YOUR KNEES
YOU’LL BE CRING UNCLE - YOU’LL BE CRYING UNCLE PLEASE

OHHH, AMERICA, DON’T TURN YOUR BACK ON ME,
IT’S TIME TO RE-AWAKEN THIS NOBLE REFUGEE,
AMERICA, AMERICA, NO PLACE I’D RATHER BE,
BUT IT’S TIME TO MAKE SOME CHANGES, IT’S TIME FOR LIBERTY,
