paroles de chanson American Voices - Billy Yates

He still speaks with an accent
He is from the old country
He will be bend your ear how he got here cold and hungry
And how he worked real hard
How he struggled and learned
He says he never wanted nothing that he didn't earn

Well his family was brought here
Back in 1783
Stolen away to be sold and slaves longing to be free
There worked real hard
There struggled and prayed
I think it is time to come together with one voice today

Were we sing about justice
And we sing about freedom
Sing about the right to speak your mind in what you believe in
We might look a little different
But we share the same choices
Every corner every color everything
American voices

There own a little restaurant
Down on 19th street
There treat us with there broken english when we start to eat
And there worked real hard
There struggled and dreamed
To become an American citizens
Just like you and me

Well he lives on a reservation
A little corner of this earth
He can bend his ear about the trail of tears
And how much it hurts
And he works real hard
To preserve the past
So lets join hands and share the dreams
Of this great man

Were we sing about justice
And we sing about freedom
Sing about the right to speak your mind in what you believe in
We might look a little different
But we share the same choices
Every corner every color everything
American voices

We might look a little different
But we share the same choices
Every corner every color everything
American voices

Every corner every color everything
American voices
