The American Dream Lyrics by Alan Dunham

Learning To Fly

2022

[Verse 1]
Pick up the pieces you've lost
Sometimes it happens to you
And when you feel down, you just raise a smile
Then you'll walk away
[Verse 2]
Pick up the fragments of earth
Feel all the dirt through your hands
And after rejoining its mother
The it will wash away
[Chorus]
Come here and hold my hand
Let us look into the world
A world that's full of hope
Where we strive to reach our goals
Then, but no more
It's time to wave our hands, it's time to say goodbye
Looking at the dreams we had, we watch them slowly die
Goodbyе to the American dream
[Verse 3]
Pick up thе pebbles of stones
They're just a child from its womb
And when they roll home on a sunny dawn
The rain will erode them away
[Verse 4]
Pick up the sand of the sea
You know that you've seen it before
The sand and the stone strove and saw their goal
But yours were thrown away
