America

Is this just an illusion

That I made inside my head to get me by

20 years in debt

20 years in the government

20 years can never get me by



Then I feel you close

Feel you close like you wanted me to

Feel you close like you wanted me to

Believe in you, ooh



[chorus]

Rise to the top of the world

America, America don't you cry

Lift me up

Give me strength to press on

Rise to the top of the world

America, America don't you cry

Lift me up

Give me strength to press on



From farmers in he fields

To the tallest of the towers that fall and rise



1 7 7 6

The names upon the list

For all the ones that gave until they died

Don't you hold back

I can see in you in your mind

And your mind will set you free



And I feel you close

Feel you close like you wanted me to

Feel you close like you wanted me to

Believe in you, ooh



[chorus 2x]
