Luyện nghe bài hát Searching for America

Where you been that made you weep
And left these stains upon your
What did you see while you were
That haunts eyes this sunny dawn

They herded us so much meat
Up from the to the street
concrete canyons stretched their walls
So high it made us want to
Past proverbs writ on subway
And the window bars
We walked until the bled
And not a curse was unsaid

Into a place knows no spring
Where only steel and silver
They made us until we dropped
And the music of the stopped

I a cinder in my eye
for a patch of sky
But the drizzled down like in Pompeii
That's how I spent my

Searching for
In the and the rust
for America
Finding dust

What did you see made you cry
And left these trackmarks on eye
What did you while you were there
That sucks the light out of the air

They gave us each a shack
And land so hard it our back
fed us 'til our bellies burst
On promises that at birth
So I lay the baby out dawn
In-between the corn
With for her bonnet
And flies her only

We harvested until we
every single root ran red
And when the work was done
gave our names to immigration
I did not how bad it hurt
Until I lay there eating
And the cold seeped in my bones
That's where I was when I home

Searching for
All her dreams and
for America
Finding ghosts

Who are these people you seen
To dream this dark and distant
To tell the you have told
To leave these bruises on your

They are the flesh, they are the
They are the very
They leave mansions and their shacks
To hide here the cracks
Their hope is tattooed on my
from my fingertips
They are crawling toward the land
over hand

To walk until run no more
And wash up on some shore
Where truth is not the
And does not kill us, sets us free

out there
Are just like me
Homesick for
Heartsick at the

Searching for
In every and stone
Searching for
home
