America
So close, I almost hear it
So close, I almost feel it
The wind that's calling just to me
So close to finally breaking the chains that now are straining
To keep me grounded 'cos I'll be free
I don't care if the streets aren't paved with gold
'Cos anywhere is a dream from what I've known
I'll start again in America
Where they don't give a damn for the scar on your face
'Cos everyone there has a scar to their name
America, don't let me down
So far above my shadow
So far, it cannot reach all
The dreams it drenched in darkness for too long
I don't care if the sun will never shine
There's light enough in the past I've left behind
On my own in America
Where they don't give a damn for the scar on your face
'Cos everyone there has a scar to their name
America
Don't let me down this dream like the pride which I swallowed to hide
Long ago and it broke me inside
Just let me try, let me go, let me run, let me feel what I have been denied
Just let me free, let me choose, let me see, let me finally fly
In America
Where they don't give a damn for the scar on your face
'Cos everyone there has a scar to their name
My past will erase, I'll finally feel safe
I know I can make it
America
So close, I almost feel it
The wind that's calling just to me
So close to finally breaking the chains that now are straining
To keep me grounded 'cos I'll be free
I don't care if the streets aren't paved with gold
'Cos anywhere is a dream from what I've known
I'll start again in America
Where they don't give a damn for the scar on your face
'Cos everyone there has a scar to their name
America, don't let me down
So far above my shadow
So far, it cannot reach all
The dreams it drenched in darkness for too long
I don't care if the sun will never shine
There's light enough in the past I've left behind
On my own in America
Where they don't give a damn for the scar on your face
'Cos everyone there has a scar to their name
America
Don't let me down this dream like the pride which I swallowed to hide
Long ago and it broke me inside
Just let me try, let me go, let me run, let me feel what I have been denied
Just let me free, let me choose, let me see, let me finally fly
In America
Where they don't give a damn for the scar on your face
'Cos everyone there has a scar to their name
My past will erase, I'll finally feel safe
I know I can make it
America
