Lyrics
WE ARE AMERICANS
(VERSE)
When I was just a boy I once had a dream
About a man who was strong and proud and free
He was always part of the winning team
Down at the soldier field Chicago ball game
He would do anything for lady liberty
When I look into his eyes I see a little part of me
(CHORUS)
We are Americans living on our hopes and dreams
We are Americans always fighting to be free
We are Americans looking toward tommorow
We are Americans and our dreams are all we've got
(VERSE)
The years have gone on by now I am a man
Time to be a moving on good-bye Mom and Dad
As I closed the door I heard Mama say
God bless my son and God bless the U.S.A.
He would do anything to feed his family
When I look into his eyes I see a little part of me
(CHORUS)
We are Americans living on our hopes and dreams
We are Americans always fighting to be free
We are Americans looking toward tommorow
We are Americans and our dreams are all we've got
