American Prayer - Dave Stewart

This is my American prayer

This is my American prayer

This is the time to finish what you’ve started

And this is no time to dream

This is my American prayer

And this is the room

We can turn off the dark tonight

Maybe then we might see

This is my American prayer

American prayer

American prayer

And this is the ground that keeps our feet from getting wet

And this is the sky over our head

And what you see depends on where you stand

And how you jump will tell you where you’re gonna land

American prayer

American prayer

My, oh, my, couldn’t get much higher

Let’s not kick out the darkness

Make the light brighter

And these are the hands

What are we gonna build with them?

And this is the church you can’t see

And remember, give me your tired

Your poor and huddled masses

You know they’re yearning to breathe free

This is my American prayer

American prayer

American prayer

When you get to the top of the mountain

Will you tell me what you see?

If you get to the top of the mountain

Remember me If you get to the top of the mountain

Will you tell me what you see?

If you get to the top of the mountain

Remember me If you get to the top of the mountain

Will you tell me what you see?

If you get to the top of the mountain

Remember me
