U2 — The Hands That Built America

[Verse 1] Oh my love It’s a long way we’ve come From the freckled hills to the steel and glass canyons From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky From digging in our pockets, for a reason not to say goodbye [Chorus] These are the hands that built America Russian, Sioux, Dutch, Hindu Polish, Irish, German, Italian [Verse 2] I last saw your face in a watercolour sky As sea birds argued a long goodbye I took your kiss on the spray of the new line star You gotta live with your dreams Don’t make them so hard [Chorus] And these are the hands that built America These are the hands that built America The Irish, the Blacks, the Chinese, the Jews Korean, Hispanic, Muslim, Indian [Bridge] Of all of the promises Is this one we can keep? Of all of the dreams Is this one still out of reach? [Outro] Its early fall There’s a cloud on the New York skyline Innocence dragged across a yellow line These are the hands that built America These are the hands that built America
