david a. stewart - american prayer (2008) lyrics

[intro: david a. stewart]
this is my american prayer
this is my american prayer

[verse 1: david a. stewart]
this is the time to finish what you’ve started
and this is no time to dream
(this is my american prayer)
and this is the room
we can turn off the dark tonight
maybe then we might see

[chorus: david a. stewart]
(this is my american prayer)
ahh, american prayer
ahh, american prayer

[verse 2: david a. stewart]
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

[chorus: david a. stewart]
american prayer
american prayer
[verse 3: david a. stewart]
my, oh, my, couldn’t gеt much higher
let’s not kick out the darknеss
make the light brighter
and these are the hands
what are we gonna build with them?
and this is the church you can’t see
and remember, give me your tired
your poor and huddled masses
you know they’re yearning to breathe free

[chorus: david a. stewart]
this is my american prayer
ahh, american prayer
ahh, american prayer

[spoken interlude: martin luther king jr.]
like anybody, i would like to live a long life – longevity has its place. but i’m not concerned about that now. i just wanna 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 with you. but i want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land

[chorus 2: david a. stewart]
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
if 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
[outro: david a. stewart]
if 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 (remember) me
