This is my American Prayer
This is the time
To finish what you started
And this is no time to dream
This is my American Prayer
This is the room
We can turn off the dark tonight
Maybe then we might see
This is my American Prayer
American Prayer, American Prayer
And this is the ground
That keeps our feet from getting wet
And this is the sky over our head
What you see
Depends on where you stand
And how you jump will tell you where
You’re gonna land
American Prayer, American Prayer
My oh my, will it get much higher
Let’s not kick out the darkness
Let the light be brighter?
These are the hands
What are we gonna build with them?
This is the church you can’t see
Give me your tired
And poor and huddled masses
You know they’re yearning to breathe free
American Prayer, American Prayer
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Speech
When You get to the top of the mountain
Will you tell me what you see
If you get to the top of the mountain
Remember me
