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
These are the hands, that built America
Ahhhh America
Last saw your face, in a water colour sky
As sea birds argue, a long goodbye
I took your kiss, on the spray of the new land star
You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard, humm humm
And these are the hands, that built America
Ahhhh America
Of all of the promises, is this one we could keep?
Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach
Halle, Ole
It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York sky line
Innocence, dragged across a yellow line
These are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built America
Ahhhh America
Ahhhh America
