lyrics

Look where we are
Got scars in the sky
We’re working too hard
While the temperatures rise
We’re ignoring
The world, while the fires are roaring…

Take a good look around
Look what they’ve done
Taken innocent lives with systematic guns
It’s control in the name of power and glory

It takes the death of a dream
To wake up and see
A world with a little more room to breathe
So lets gather and sing
For the death of the American dream

Look where we are
Got lines in the sand
Building up empires on stolen land
By exploiting
Hearts and bodies and stories…

It takes the death of a dream
To wake up and see
A world with a little more room to breathe
So lets gather and sing
For the death of the American dream

Look where we are
The waters are clean
We lead with our hearts
We don’t take more than we need
We’re restoring A world we can all feel joy in

It took the death of a dream
To wake up and see
A world with a little more room to breathe
So lets gather and sing
For a brand new American dream
Let’s all gather and sing For a brand new American Dream
