American Dream - Bobby Womack

America is essentially a dream

It is a dream of a land where men of all races

Of all nationalities and of all creeds

Can live together as brothers

I wish I could live in a fantasy world

Where everything is just make believe

Where nothing is wrong in the words of my song

And your love is all I never need

When I turn to the time

That my heart were just mine

Baby I lost, lost, lost in my own reality

But all I’ve got to do, baby, is hold

Hold on to me

When I’m not that free

Your love, your love is all that I need

American dream

American dream

American dream

I never hear you

Rainbows and the blue skies

Everyday

Made all my day

Children born free in the world of today

I’m talking about my beautiful American dream

American dream

I wish I could fly

Like an…

To the arms that — just —

When war, war has just gone

And my father come home

My love will never, never, never, never grow

When I turn to the time

That my heart, that my heart were just mine

Baby I lost, lost, lost in my own reality

But all I’ve got to do, baby, is just hold

Hold on to me

Can’t you see I’m not that free

Your love, your love, your love is all that I need

American dream

I have a dream this afternoon

That the brotherhood of man will become a reality in this day.

And with this faith

I will go out and carve a tunnel of hope through the mountain of despair.

With this faith,

I will go out with you and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows.

With this faith, we will be able to achieve this new day

American dream

Rainbows and the blue skies

Everyday

Made all my day

Children born free in the world of today

American dream

Rainbows and the blue skies

Everyday

Made all my day

Children born free in the world of today
