Rise out of nothing
Laws to be learned
Land built from sorrow
Dreams never heard
A fortune then discovered
Taken, not returned
Everything you borrow
None of it deserved
From the heart of America
Is your medicine a miracle?
Foundation of America
A stain on your soul
It’s not hard to be cynical
No time for a miracle
This part of America
You’ll find it alone
Fought for survival
No one to be served
Long for arrival
Only to be turned
Away from your own heartlands
Away from love you earned
In place where the heart is
A flag forever burned
When the night falls
Americans dream
American dreams
From the heart of America
Is your medicine a miracle?
Foundation of America
A stain on your soul
It’s not hard to be cynical
No time for a miracle
This part of America
You’ll find it alone
From the heart of America
Is your medicine a miracle?
Foundation of America
A stain on your soul
It’s not hard to be cynical
No time for a miracle
This part of America
You’ll find it alone
From the heart of America
