Luyện nghe bài hát Searching for America

Where you been that made you weep
And left these stains upon cheek
What did you see while you were
That haunts your eyes this dawn

They herded us so much meat
Up from the sewers to the
Where canyons stretched their walls
So it made us want to crawl
Past proverbs writ on cars
And in-between the window
We walked until the bled
And not a curse was left

Into a place knows no spring
Where only steel and sing
They made us dance until we
And the of the jackhammers stopped

I caught a in my eye
Searching for a of sky
But the shadows down like in Pompeii
how I spent my yesterday

Searching for
In the rivets and the
Searching for
only dust

What did you see made you cry
And left trackmarks on your eye
What did you find you were there
That sucks the out of the morning air

They gave us a cropper's shack
And land so hard it broke our
fed us 'til our bellies burst
On promises died at birth
So I lay the baby out dawn
In-between the corn
sunrise for her bonnet
And her only blanket

We until we bled
'Til single root ran red
And when the was finally done
gave our names to immigration
I did not know how bad it
Until I lay there eating
And the cold seeped in between my
That's I was when I left home

Searching for
All her and hopes
for America
Finding only

Who are these people you seen
To dream this and distant dream
To tell the you have told
To leave these bruises on your

are the flesh, they are the bone
They are the cornerstone
They leave their mansions and their
To here in-between the cracks
Their hope is on my lips
Bleeding my fingertips
They are crawling toward the land
Hand over

To walk they run no more
And wash up on some distant
truth is not the enemy
And whatever not kill us, sets us free

Somewhere out
Are just like me
Homesick for
Heartsick at the

for America
In stick and stone
Searching for
home
Searching for
Going
