Luyện nghe bài hát Searching for America

Where have you that made you weep
And left these stains your cheek
did you see while you were gone
That haunts your eyes this dawn

They herded us so much meat
Up the sewers to the street
Where concrete canyons stretched their
So it made us want to crawl
Past proverbs writ on subway
And in-between the bars
We walked the pavement bled
And not a curse was unsaid

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

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

Searching for
In the rivets and the
for America
Finding only

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

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

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

for America
All her dreams and
for America
Finding ghosts

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

They are the flesh, are the bone
They are the cornerstone
They leave their and their shacks
To hide here the cracks
Their hope is tattooed on my
Bleeding from my
They are crawling toward the promised
over hand

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

Somewhere out
Are millions just me
for Eden
Heartsick at the

Searching for
In every and stone
Searching for
home
Searching for
Going
