This is my American Prayer This is my American Prayer
This is the time to finish what you started And this is no time to dream (This is my American Prayer) This is the room We can turn off the dark tonight Maybe then we might see. (This is my American Prayer)

And this is the ground That keeps our feet from getting wet And this is the sky over our head And what you see depends on where you stand And how you jump will tell you where you're goona land
American Prayer (2X's)
My, oh my Couldn't get much higher Let's not kick out the darkness Make the lights brighter
And these are the hands What are we gonna build with them? This is the church you can't see (Remember) Give me your tired, your poor and huddled masses You know they're yearning to breathe free
This is my American Prayer American Prayer (2X's)
When you get to the top of the mountain Will you tell me what you see? If you get to the top of the mountain, Remember me.
