Lyrics

[00:02.330] Oh, my love,
[00:06.410] it's a long way we've.e
[00:13.660] From the freckled hills to the steel and glass canyons
[00:25.390] From the stony fields to hanging steel from sky
[00:37.090] From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye
[00:49.660] These are the hands that built America
[01:01.490] America
[01:12.820] Last saw your face in a watercolor sky
[01:24.930] As sea birds argue, a long goodbye
[01:36.760] I took your kiss on the spray of the new land star
[01:48.270] You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard
[02:00.180] And these are the hands that built America
[02:12.110] America
[02:24.280] Of all the promises
[02:29.900] is this one we could keep
[02:35.950] Of all of the dreams
[02:38.990] is this one still out of reach
[02:48.680] Halle, holy
[03:11.480] It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline
[03:23.670] Innocence dragged across a yellow line
[03:35.450] These are the hands that built America
[03:47.150] These are the hands that built America
[03:59.200] America
[04:11.260] America
[04:24.240]
