Lyrics
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
(Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton)
America
(Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton)
Last saw your face
In a water color sky
As sea birds argue
A long goodbye
I took your kiss
On the spray of the New Land storm
You gotta live with your dreams
Don't make them so hard
And these are the hands
That built America
(Irish, Irish, Irish, the Germans, the Germans)
America
(Whatever you say, if it wasn't for them)
Of all of the promises
Is this one we could keep?
Of all of the dreams
Is this one still out of reach?
Holy, holy dream on
Dream on
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
These are the hands
That built America
America
America
