Lyrics

I dreamt I was a refugee Who lived outside of town My family in a barrio shack Battered and run down We had a friend from America Helped out, we took him in Like my brother he disappeared They said, he was with him, oh yeah There we were far out at sea And somehow we got lost Then we landed hard on shore There upon the rocks While celebration shook the air We turned to hear some shots There's ones that have been here far too long We think, they've lost the plot, oh yeah Here I go again Leaving things out while I'm leaving things in Where, where should I begin? Feeling so full or feeling so thin Calling America Man I know you're out there Sisters are you breathing Calling America This thing they call America It really is a dream, oh yeah Then I stood there face to face With a girl that I once knew She was dressed in gingham there In colors red, white and blue The more I spoke, the less she heard And then she slipped away And I just stood there sinking Far beneath the waves, oh yeah Here we go again Leaving things out while we're leaving things in Where, where should we begin? Feeling so full or feeling so thin Calling America Man I know you're out there Can't you hear me calling? Calling America Sister, are you out there? Can't you feel me dreaming? Calling America This thing they call America Really what does it mean, yeah? Calling America This thing they call America It really is a dream, oh yeah Here we go again Leaving things out while we're leaving things in Where, where should we begin? Feeling so full or feeling so thin, oh yeah Calling America Man I know, you're out there Sister, are you breathing? Calling America This thing they call America It really is a dream Calling America Sister, are you out there? Can't you feel me breathing? Calling America Sister, are you out there? Can't you feel me breathing? Calling America This thing they call America Really what does it mean, yeah? Calling America Oh, man I know, you're out there Can't you feel me breathing? Calling America Breathing Breathing Calling America
