America Of My Dreams

Lyrics of America Of My Dreams in English

LYRICS

America was just a dream that as a kid
I fell in love with.
Movie lights and big white screens
brought me closer.
Ellis Island was her name.
My name is just the same.
America, my destiny
was waiting just for me.
But my mamma said I shouldn't
cross the waters of the ocean.
'cause America, my promised land
was no better than my home.
I wish upon a star
and kept her hidden in my heart.
Can I reignite the spark,
or will I leave her in the dark?
Yet I braved this big wide world,
facing all my fears.
And every moment of my life
I've been searching for my voice.
Now I finally understand
my music is my land.
and my feelings and my heartbeat
have always known the way!
Oh, America of my dreams, are you still there?
Or have my years slipped away in the hands of time?
Did I sweep under the rock the only place I dreamed of?
Yet something inside me never stopped believing.
I'm still singing, but can I still fly?
Bye.
America shined like a star,
too far to reach.
Am I just a bridge,
or the one who will cross it?
And I braved this big wide world,
facing all my fears.
and every moment of my life
I've been searching for my voice.
Now I finally understand
music is my land.
And my feelings and my heartbeat
have always known the way.
America of my dreams, are you still there?
Or have my years grown too heavy on the hands of time?
Let my voice and soul fly where I may not go.
But something inside me will never stop believing.
I'm singing and I can still fly.
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah.
Oh.
