Is this just an illusion
That I made inside my head to get me by?
Twenty years in debt
Twenty years in the government
Twenty years can never get me by And I feel you close
Feel you close like you wanted me to Feel you close
Like you wanted me to Believe in you
Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don’t you cry
Lift me up Give me strength to press on Rise to the top of the world
America
America, don’t you cry
Lift me up Give me strength to press on From farmers in fields
To the tallest of the towers that fall and rise
The names upon the list
For all the ones that gave until they died
Don’t you hold back
I can see in your mind, and your mind will set you free
And I feel you close
Feel you close like you wanted me to Feel you close
Like you wanted me to Believe in you
Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don’t you cry
Lift me up Give me strength to press on Rise to the top of the world
America
America, don’t you cry
Lift me up Give me strength to press on Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don’t you cry
Lift me up Give me strength to press on Rise to the top of the world
America
America, don’t you cry
Lift me up Give me strength to press on
