Sing a song of America Once she was a young girl with her heart on fire Born in the dust of the magic of history It all goes on yeah the dream goes on
Streets of gold Streets of wonder Streets of people growing stronger Revolution and voices of thunder It's a new world, new people New dreams for all of the children Young country, new love New dreams of freedom
And it all goes on Yes it all goes on And it all goes on In America In America
In the streets of America Back in the summer of '85 I met a young girl, her heart was in flames Jenny bowen was her name She was a california girl War had changed her whole world Her daddy died in vietnam She lost her husband in lebanon She was drivin' back to washington To get a medal for the job they'd done From the president of the united fuckin' states of America
And she saw hungry people in the streets Young mothers who could not eat Oh i remember American dreams We've all talked of American dreams
And it all goes on Yes the dreams go on And it all goes on In America In America In America In America
Something's happening in America Can you feel it? can you feel it comin'? It's like the green party in germany Young people with visions and dreams In nicaragua n' chile, poland and south africa Freedom brewing, it's an uphill dream
Don't be afraid of anything Don't be afraid of anyone
Young men are dreaming and Young girls believing And asking questions like
Where are the frontiers? How do i get there? There are no maps, there are no roads Just you and me on these streets of gold
And it all goes on Yes it all goes on And it all goes on And on and on and on and on and on And on and on and on Streets of America Streets of America . . .go on
