A child dreamed
And the images that he was fed stuck deep down inside his head
It's true
It was the only place to be
Land of love, land of the free
It's true
Take me to stand upon the shore
And gaze at Liberty, a face that's drawn so fine and pure
A child's dream
Oh! I have dreamed
About America
The child grew
And every day on the news, America has got the blues
Again
Riots burn on every street
And they're slaughtering the Presidents sheep
Again
Take me to stand upon the shore
And look at Liberty, her face so drawn yet fine and pure
And I've seen
Oh! I have seen
Night fall about America
Take me to stand upon the shore
And dream of Liberty, a face I don't know any more
A child's dream
Oh! I have dreamed
About America
