American Dream
Lyrics
Grandpa tells a story every years the same
He goes through every detail like nothing ever changed
We gather round the table, like the years before
How he left his home behind in search of something more
Oh he worked, dreamed, for his family
To bring them to a new life and build a legacy
And oooh, one day at a time
He kept on a steady climb
Rising up to build a brand new life
And oooh, the only way that he knew how
From sun up to sun down
He built it up from the ground
And he knew that some day this would be
His American Dream
Fifteen days on water, seven years alone
One way ticket on a boat, to a place he'd never known
He started off with nothing, but a bed to rest his head
He'd work his fingers to the bone if it meant he'd get ahead
Oh he worked, dreamed, for his family
To bring them to America and build a legacy
And oooh, one day at a time
He kept on a steady climb
Rising up to build a brand new life
And oooh, the only way that he knew how
From sun up to sun down
He built it up from the ground
And he knew that some day this would be
For his family
Someday this would be
His American Dream
Grandpa tells a story every years the same
He goes through every detail like nothing ever changed
We gather round the table, like the years before
How he left his home behind in search of something more
Oh he worked, dreamed, for his family
To bring them to a new life and build a legacy
And oooh, one day at a time
He kept on a steady climb
Rising up to build a brand new life
And oooh, the only way that he knew how
From sun up to sun down
He built it up from the ground
And he knew that some day this would be
His American Dream
Fifteen days on water, seven years alone
One way ticket on a boat, to a place he'd never known
He started off with nothing, but a bed to rest his head
He'd work his fingers to the bone if it meant he'd get ahead
Oh he worked, dreamed, for his family
To bring them to America and build a legacy
And oooh, one day at a time
He kept on a steady climb
Rising up to build a brand new life
And oooh, the only way that he knew how
From sun up to sun down
He built it up from the ground
And he knew that some day this would be
For his family
Someday this would be
His American Dream
