Lyrics for Song: The Hands That Built America
Lyrics for Album: The Best of 1990-2000 [2002]
Oh my love, it's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills, to the steel and glass canyons
From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky
From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye
These are the hands that built America
Ah, ah ah, America
Last saw your face in a watercolour sky
As sea birds argue, a long goodbye
I took your kiss, on the spray of the new land star
You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard
And these are the hands, that built America
Hand... America... / Oh-ah-ahh
Of all of the promises, is this one we could keep
Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach
Halle, ole
(Dream-oh, no no yeah)
(Lord dream, oh no)
It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline
Innocence, dragged across a yellow line
These are the hands that built America
(Washington tree, Washington tree now)
These are the hands that built America
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah America
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah America
