american prayer

lynch, dustin

it's whispered from a tractor on a flat midwestern plain

the fields are dry and dusty

there is no sign of rain

it floats out a kitchen window

somewhere in the south

if the river gets much higher

they'll float away no doubt

you can almost feel it in the air

an american prayer

they're gonna be alright

they're gonna carry on

help from above will come back strong

got faith in us

got faith in him

the clouds will part and the sun will shine again

amen

it echoes through the factories up in michigan

it bounces off the levees

and rides out on the wind

clear out to california

and back on up to maine

don't matter if you're rich or poor

a sinner or a saint

every night

everybody

everywhere

is praying their american prayer

they're gonna be alright

they're gonna carry on

help from above will come back strong

got faith in us

got faith in him

the clouds will part and the sun will shine again

amen

they're gonna be alright

they're gonna carry on

help from above will come back strong

got faith in us

got faith in him

the clouds will part and the sun will shine again

amen

amen
