Is this just an illusion?
That I made inside my head to get me by?
20 years in debt,
20 years in the government,
20 years can never get me by.
And I feel you close…
Feel you close like you wanted me to…
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Believe in you!
[2x:]
Rise to the top of the world, America,
America, don't you cry
Lift me up!
Give me strength to press on!
From farmers in the fields
To the tallest of the towers that fall and rise.
1-7-7-6.
The names upon the list
For all the ones that gave until they died.
Don't you hold back
I can see in your mind, and your mind will set you free!
And I feel you close…
Feel you close like you wanted me to…
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Believe in you!
[4x:]
Rise to the top of the world, America,
America, don't you cry
Lift me up!
Give me strength to press on!
