Luyện nghe bài hát Searching for America

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

They herded us so much meat
Up from the to the street
Where concrete stretched their walls
So high it made us to crawl
Past proverbs on subway cars
And in-between the window
We until the pavement bled
And not a curse was unsaid

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

I caught a in my eye
Searching for a of sky
But the shadows drizzled like in Pompeii
That's how I my yesterday

for America
In the and the rust
Searching for
Finding dust

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

They gave us each a shack
And land so it broke our back
Then fed us our bellies burst
On promises that died at
So I lay the baby out each
the tender corn
With for her bonnet
And flies her blanket

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

Searching for
All her dreams and
for America
Finding only

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

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

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

out there
Are millions like me
for Eden
Heartsick at the

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