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
Then I feel you close
Feel you close like you
wanted me to
Feel you close like you
wanted me to
Believe in you
Rise to the top
of the world America
America don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
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
Rise to the top
of the world America
America don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the
world America
America don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the
world America
America don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the
world America
America don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
