Dream
Over sea and land with nothing
Straight on with nothing to lose
No one's promised anything
But the prospect of a dream
A palette of bleeding color
Red, white, yellow, black, and brown
Against blue sky and purple mountains
And rolling fields of green
Dream of America, dream of America
Dream of America, dream
Sunrises and sunsets
Shadows fall across the land
Mistakes and misfortune
Bring lessons in lasting truth
Staring down at my shoes
Worried about where they've been
But moving on and forgiving
And never going back again
Dream of America, dream of America
Dream of America, dream
New seeds scattered
Relentless faith renewed
Light shines on the chosen
Who choose to carry on
Eyes fixed in the distance
Arms reaching for something more
The promise of tomorrow
Where peace will find a home
Dream of America, dream of America
Dream of America, dream
Moonlight rising
Through the storm clouds up ahead
Daylight dawning
Like redemption's healing flame
History is hindsight
The present written in the sand
Pages turn and chapters close
Still the story ambles on
Dream of America, dream of America
Dream of America, dream
Dream of America, dream of America
Dream of America, dream
Straight on with nothing to lose
No one's promised anything
But the prospect of a dream
A palette of bleeding color
Red, white, yellow, black, and brown
Against blue sky and purple mountains
And rolling fields of green
Dream of America, dream of America
Dream of America, dream
Sunrises and sunsets
Shadows fall across the land
Mistakes and misfortune
Bring lessons in lasting truth
Staring down at my shoes
Worried about where they've been
But moving on and forgiving
And never going back again
Dream of America, dream of America
Dream of America, dream
New seeds scattered
Relentless faith renewed
Light shines on the chosen
Who choose to carry on
Eyes fixed in the distance
Arms reaching for something more
The promise of tomorrow
Where peace will find a home
Dream of America, dream of America
Dream of America, dream
Moonlight rising
Through the storm clouds up ahead
Daylight dawning
Like redemption's healing flame
History is hindsight
The present written in the sand
Pages turn and chapters close
Still the story ambles on
Dream of America, dream of America
Dream of America, dream
Dream of America, dream of America
Dream of America, dream
