Testo American Voices - Billy Yates
Testo della canzone American Voices (Billy Yates), tratta dall'album Anywhere But Nashville
He still speaks with an accent
He's from the old country
He'll bend your ear about how he got here cold and hungry
And how he worked real hard
How he struggled and learned
He says he never wanted nothing that he didn't earn
Well her family was brought here
Back in 1783
Stole away to be sold as slaves longing to be free
And they worked real hard
And they struggled and prayed
I think it's time to come together with one voice today
Where we sing about justice
And we sing about freedom
Sing about the right to speak your mind and what you believe in
We might look a little different
But we share the same choices
Every corner, every color, every faith
American voices
They own a little restaurant
Down on 19th street
And they greet us with their broken English when we stop to eat
And they work real hard
And they struggle and dream
To become an American citizen just like you and me
Well he lives on a reservation
A little corner of this earth
He can bend your ear about the trail of tears and how much it hurt
And he works real hard
To preserve the past
So let's join hands and share the dreams of this great land
Where we sing about justice
And we sing about freedom
Sing about the right to speak your mind and what you believe in
We might look a little different
But we share the same choices
Every corner, every color, every faith
American voices
We might look a little different
But we share the same choices
Every corner, every color, every faith
American voices
Every corner, every color, every faith
American voices
