"American Prayer" lyrics - DAVE STEWART

This is my American prayer
This is my American prayer
This is the time to finish what you've started
And this is no time to dream

This is my American prayer
And this is the room
We can turn off the dark tonight
Maybe then we might see

This is my American prayer
American prayer
American prayer

And this is the ground that keeps our feet from getting wet
And this is the sky over our head
And what you see depends on where you stand
And how you jump will tell you where you're gonna land

American prayer
American prayer

My, oh, my, couldn't get much higher
Let's not kick out the darkness
Make the light brighter

And these are the hands
What are we gonna build with them?
And this is the church you can't see

And remember, give me your tired
Your poor and huddled masses
You know they're yearning to breathe free

This is my American prayer
American prayer
American prayer

When you get to the top of the mountain
Will you tell me what you see?
If you get to the top of the mountain
Remember me

If you get to the top of the mountain
Will you tell me what you see?
If you get to the top of the mountain
Remember me

If you get to the top of the mountain
Will you tell me what you see?
If you get to the top of the mountain
Remember me
