America, the Dream Goes On - US Navy Band & Sea Chanters Chorus (United States Navy Band & Sea Chanters Chorus)/United States Army Band & Chorus (US Army Band & Chorus)/Singing Sergeants/SFC Robert McDonald

America America and the dream goes on

America America and the dream goes on

There's a song in the dust of a county road

On the wind it comes to call

And it sings in the farms and the factory towns

And where you think there'd be no song at all

And the words are the words that our fathers heard

As they whistled down the years

And the name of the song is the name of the dream

And it's music to our ears

America America and the dream goes on

America America and the dream goes on

And the words that we read on the courthouse walls

And the words that make us free

And the more we remember the way we began

The closer we get to the best we can be

Was there ever a time we forgot it's worth

All the struggles and the scars

If we leave to the children a sky full of hope

And a flag that's filled with stars

America America and the dream goes on

Remember the voice of Jefferson

And the sound of Thomas Paine

Lincoln sang at Gettysberg about America

Listen well to the wind and you can hear

From Oregon to Maine

America America

There's a song in the dust of a country road

It's a song we must recall

And it sings in the farms and the factory towns

And where you think there'd be no song at all

And the words are the words that our fathers heard

As they whistled down the years

And the name of the song is the name of the dream

And it's music to our ears

America America and the dream goes on

Think of Roosevelt and Kennedy

And of Martin Luther King

And the way they sang a song about America

Listen well to the wind it's always there

And it's asking us to sing

America America

Though the voices are changing

The song's the same as it sings from sea to sea

And as long as the music is strong and clear

We'll know that tomorrow will always be free

America America and the dream goes on

America America and the dream goes on

America America America America and the dream goes on

America
