Luyện nghe bài hát Searching for America

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

They herded us like so much
Up from the to the street
Where concrete canyons their walls
So high it made us want to
Past proverbs writ on subway
And in-between the bars
We until the pavement bled
And not a curse was unsaid

Into a that knows no spring
Where only steel and sing
They made us until we dropped
And the music of the stopped

I a cinder in my eye
Searching for a of sky
But the drizzled down like in Pompeii
That's how I spent my

Searching for
In the and the rust
Searching for
Finding only

What did you see made you cry
And left these trackmarks on eye
What did you find while you there
That the light out of the morning air

gave us each a cropper's shack
And land so hard it broke our
Then fed us 'til our burst
On promises that died at
So I lay the out each dawn
In-between the tender
sunrise for her bonnet
And flies her only

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

Searching for
All her dreams and
Searching for
Finding ghosts

Who are these people you seen
To this dark and distant dream
To tell the stories you have
To these bruises on your soul

are the flesh, they are the bone
They are the cornerstone
They leave their mansions and shacks
To hide here in-between the
Their hope is tattooed on my
Bleeding my fingertips
are crawling toward the promised land
Hand hand

To walk until run no more
And up on some distant shore
truth is not the enemy
And whatever does not us, sets us free

out there
Are millions just me
for Eden
Heartsick at the

for America
In every and stone
Searching for
home
Searching for
home
