Joe Colledge: Music
American Dream
(2009 Joe Colledge)
Imagine life without a home or a country to call your own
Thank God for those who gave their lives
To make this the home of the brave
Come live the American Dream
Set yourself free and fight for your beliefs
Place your hand on your heart and a shed a tear
For Mother USA today
In years gone by, we’ve fought our way
To give us all we have today
Brave souls who mark their graves
Cry out so you can hear them say
Come live the American Dream
Set yourself free and fight for your beliefs
Place your hand on your heart and a shed a tear
For Mother USA today
Remember that September day, the sun shined down
While our children played
The sky was clear when the planes came down
Clouds of smoke rose from the ground
We watched in disbelief and cried
While thousands of our brothers died
Evil won a round that day
But they can’t take our pride away
A new day dawns and hope abounds
You’ll find it there from town to town
We paid the price for freedom’s sake
And we’ll rise to show the world we still lead the way
Come live the American Dream
Set yourself free and fight for your beliefs
Place your hand on your heart and a shed a tear
For Mother USA today
