somewhere in america

i flew where eagles fly

above the hills

where lovers lie

i heard a voice

and it was singing

of the world as it would be

i made my way in rhyme

maybe i lost my way in time

sometimes it's hard to serve the beauty

that you feel in everything

someday the band will play it again

somewhere in america

i'll knock on the door

and they'll let me in

somewhere in america

i'll be there

america

somewhere in america

i see the old dreams die

and look for news against the sky

it's not the first mile i've travelled

nor the last mile i will now

i say a sad goodbye

and watch my lonely children cry

and leave a sing to hold them steady

'til the brave new world begins

someday the band will play it again

somewhere in america

i'll knock on the door

and they'll let me in

somewhere in america

i'll be there

america

somewhere in america
