Oh my love, it's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills to the steel and glass canyons
From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky
From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye

These are the hands that built America
(Russian, Sioux, Dutch, Hindu)
Oh, oh oh, America
(Polish, Irish, German, Italian)

Last saw your face in a watercolour sky
As sea birds argue, a long goodbye
I took your kiss, on the spray of Endless stars
You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard

And these are the hands, that built America
(The Irish, the Blacks, the Chinese, the Jews)
Ah, ah ah, America / Hand
(Korean, Hispanic, Muslim, Indian)

Of all of the promises, is this one we could keep
Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach

Out ta outa reeeach
(Dream-oh-yeah)
(Oh oh-dream, oh love)

It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline
Innocence, dragged across a yellow line

These are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built America
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah America

Review about The Hands That Built America

Sorry, but disagree.... | Reviewer: L.M., Canada | 9/13/09

Glenn, you commented "i think that if ever there were a song written for those fallen on 9/11 this could have been it", but I have to disagree. The sentiment can be appreciated, but the song refers to the immigrants who came here with nothing and built their lives and their new country literally from the ground up, without forgetting where they came from. To me, that's the most powerful message of the song. It wasn't aimed at the everyday citizens upholding the peace, but rather those new to the country who had to make new lives for themselves.

A song that cut the air while you lose your fears... | Reviewer: MIGUEL MONTES | 10/30/07

It couldn't be more perfect? I guess not, desires of greatness grows inside the mind. The voices in the back gets you a little aggressive, but the metric gives a great strong, a great hope.
