U2 - American Soul

Il testo

Blessed are the bullies 
For one day they will have to stand up 
To themselves 
Blessed are the liars 
For the truth can be awkward 

It's not a place 
This country is to me a sound 
Of drum and bass 
You close your eyes to look around 

Look around 
Look around 
Look around 
It's a sound 
Look around 
Look around 
It's a sound 

It's not a place 
This country is to me a thought 
That offers grace 
For every welcome that is sought 

You are rock and roll 
You and I are rock and roll 
You are rock and roll 
Came here looking for American Soul 

It's not a place 
This is a dream the whole world owns 
The pilgrim's face 
It had your heart to call her home 

Hold on, brother John 
Too many mothers weeping 
Dream on, brother John 
In your dreams you can’t be sleeping 

You are rock and roll 
You and I are rock and roll 
You are rock and roll 
Came here looking for American Soul 

American 
American 
Put your hands in the air 
Hold on the sky 
Could be too late 
But we still gotta try 

There's a moment in our life where a soul can die 
And the person in a country when you believe the lie 
The lie 
There's a promise in the heart of every good dream 
It's a call to action, not to fantasy 
The end of a dream, the start of what's real 
Let it be unity 
Let it be community 
For refugees like you and me 
A country to receive us 
Will you be our sanctuary 
Refu-jesus 

You are rock and roll 
You and I are rock and roll 
You are rock and roll 
Came here looking for American Soul 

You are rock and roll 
You and I are rock and roll 
You are rock and roll 
Came here looking for American Soul 
American Soul 
American Soul
