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 the room
We can turn off the dark tonight
Maybe then we might see
American Prayer
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 gonna land
American Prayer
American Prayer
My oh my
Couldn't get much higher
Lets not kick out the darkness
Make the light 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
American Prayer
Dr. King:
(Like anybody I would like to
live a long life
Longevity has its place
But I’m not concerned about that now
I just want to do God’s will
And he’s allowed me to go up to the mountain
And I’ve looked over
And I’ve seen the promised land
I may not get there withy you
But I want you to know tonight
That we as a people will get to the promised land)
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
