Touching ground on Ellis Island
Searching for the promised land
Am I a legal alien coming home?
50 steps to win my freedom
Pushing to the golden fever
Running through your maze of steel and stone
Somewhere between your Stars and Stripes
I think I see dawn's early light
Where is the love now?
Let it rise, let it rise
America, America
Wake up, wake up, wake up all your hopes and dreams
America, America
Stand up, stand up, stand up for what you believe
Tell me, will you keep your promise?
I have come to find the solace glowing in your flame of liberty
Even though you've got your demons
In the end, your better angels always change the course of history
Somewhere between your Stars and Stripes
I still can see dawn's early light
Bring back the love now
Let it rise, let it rise
America, America
Wake up, wake up, wake up all your hopes and dreams
America, America
Stand up, stand up, stand up for what you believe
Whoa-oh-oh (whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa-oh-oh (whoa-oh-oh)
Wake up, wake up, wake up all your hopes and dreams
Somewhere between your Stars and Stripes
I still can see dawn's early light
Bring back the love now
Let it rise, let it rise
America, America
Wake up, wake up, wake up all your hopes and dreams
America, America
Stand up, stand up, stand up for what you believe
Whoa-oh-oh (whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa-oh-oh (whoa-oh-oh)
Wake up, wake up, wake up all your hopes and dreams
America, America
Wake up, wake up all your hopes and dreams
America, America
Stand up, stand up for what you believe
