Lyrics American Dream - Remastered - Bobby Womack

American is essentially a dream
It is a dream of a land where men of all races
Of all nationalities and of all creeds
Can live together as brothers
I wish I could live in a fantasy world
Where everything is just make believe
Where nothing is wrong in the words of my song
Your love is all I ever need
When I turn to the time
That my heart were just mine
Baby I'm lost, lost, lost in my own reality
But all I've got to do, baby, is hold
Hold on to me
When I'm not that free
Your love, your love is all that I need
American dream
American dream
Rainbows hills
Rainbows and the blue skies
Everyday
Made all my day
And I love the children
Children born free in the world of today
I'm talking about my beautiful American dream
American dream
I wish I could fly
Like an arrow through time
To the arms that my destiny hold
When war, war has just gone
And my father come home
Our love will never, never, never, never grow
When I turn to the time
That my heart, that my heart were just mine
Baby I'm lost, lost, lost in my own reality
But all I've got to do, baby, is just hold
Hold on to me
Can't you see I'm not that free
Your love, your love, your love is all that I ever need
American dream
I have a dream this afternoon
That the brotherhood of man will become a reality in this day with this faith
I will go out and carve a tunnel of hope through the mountain of despair ith this faith
I will go out with you and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows
With this faith, we will be able to achieve this new day
American dream
I want everybody to lift up their voices and help me sing this song
Rainbows and the blue skies
Made all my day
Children born free in the world of today
