The Hands That Built America Lyrics[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
These are the hands that built America
Russian, Sioux, Dutch, Hindu
Polish, Irish, German, Italian
[Verse 2]
I last saw your face in a watercolour sky
As sea birds argued a long goodbye
I took your kiss on the spray of the new line star
You gotta live with your dreams
Don’t make them so hard
[Chorus]
And these are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built America
The Irish, the Blacks, the Chinese, the Jews
Korean, Hispanic, Muslim, Indian
[Bridge]
Of all of the promises
Is this one we can keep?
Of all of the dreams
Is this one still out of reach?
[Outro]
Its 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 America2
