Dave Stewart
"American Prayer"

(Feat His Rock Fabulous Orchestra)

This is my American Prayer
This is my American Prayer

This is the time to finish what you started
And this is no time to dream (This is my American Prayer)
This is the room
We can turn off the dark tonight
Maybe then we might see. (This is my American Prayer)

American Prayer (2X's)

And this is the ground
That keeps our feet from getting wet
And this is the sky over our head
And what you see depends on where you stand
And how you jump will tell you where you're goona land

American Prayer (2X's)

My, oh my
Couldn't get much higher
Let's not kick out the darkness
Make the lights brighter

And these are the hands
What are we gonna build with them?
This is the church you can't see (Remember)
Give me your tired, your poor and huddled masses
You know they're yearning to breathe free

This is my American Prayer
American Prayer (2X's)

When you get to the top of the mountain
Will you tell me what you see?
If you get to the top of the mountain,
Remember me.

Repeat 3X's
