Luyện nghe bài hát Searching for America

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

herded us like so much meat
Up from the to the street
concrete canyons stretched their walls
So high it made us want to
proverbs writ on subway cars
And in-between the window
We walked until the bled
And not a was left unsaid

a place that knows no spring
Where steel and silver sing
They us dance until we dropped
And the of the jackhammers stopped

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

Searching for
In the rivets and the
for America
Finding dust

did you see that made you cry
And these trackmarks on your eye
What did you find you were there
That the light out of the morning air

gave us each a cropper's shack
And so hard it broke our back
fed us 'til our bellies burst
On promises died at birth
So I lay the baby out dawn
the tender corn
With for her bonnet
And her only blanket

We harvested until we
'Til single root ran red
And the work was finally done
They gave our names to
I did not know how bad it
Until I lay there dirt
And the cold seeped in my bones
That's where I was I left home

Searching for
All her dreams and
for America
Finding only

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

They are the flesh, are the bone
They are the cornerstone
They leave their mansions and shacks
To hide here the cracks
Their hope is on my lips
Bleeding my fingertips
are crawling toward the promised land
Hand over

To until they run no more
And wash up on some shore
truth is not the enemy
And whatever does not us, sets us free

Somewhere out
Are millions like me
Homesick for
Heartsick at the

Searching for
In every stick and
for America
Going
for America
Going
