Dreaming of America

[Verse 1]
Fell in love during war
Hiding inside a cellar
Different life outside those walls
They wanted to run together
So afraid they'd get caught
Then be apart forever
He said
"Let's pray to God above and trust our love
I promise I'll make it better."

[Pre-Chorus]
Like an illusion
He disappeared into the night
Like an illusion
His words kept ringing in her mind

[Chorus]
I'm dreaming of America
The land of the free
I'm dreaming of America
The land across the sea, yeah
I'm dreaming of America
The home of the brave
That's where, I swear, we'll be safe

[Verse 2]
Without a note, he took a boat
To the other side of the ocean
Without her man, she made a plan
To follow him with all her devotion

[Pre-Chorus]
Like an illusion
Shadows were waiting in the night
Like an illusion
They took her away as she cried

[Chorus]
I'm dreaming of America
The land of the free
I'm dreaming of America
The land across the sea, yeah
I'm dreaming of America
The home of the brave
That's where we'll share our own grave

[Verse 3]
(Just an illusion)
She never saw him again
(Just an illusion)
She never came to the promised land
(Just an illusion)
Forever loving the man she thought was born to fulfill her
(Just an illusion)
But never knew that in war he was a cold-blooded killer
He was a soldier on the run

[Chorus]
I'm dreaming of America
The land of the free
I'm dreaming of America
The land across the sea
Oh, I'm dreaming of America
The home of the brave
That's where, that's where, I swear, we will be safe

[Bridge]
We will be safe
(I'm dreaming of America, the land of the free)
We will be safe
(I'm dreaming of America, the land across the sea)

[Outro]
Oh, I'm dreaming of America
The home of the brave
That's where, that's where, I swear, we will be safe
