AMERICAN LULLABYE

 

MARCUS HUMMON

 

Wake up america

Like a lover, i long for thee

Like a lover, i pray you're true

To your dreams, to your dreams

 

Driving across america

From slavery's shores

Through reservations

To the crowded streets

With their stumbling poor

I close my eyes, and dreams some more

 

As a child, i was a wandering pilgrim

Far away i often dreamt of home

 

Now i'll give america

To my children, and their children

Walk her hills, and fish her streams

Lie in the cool grass

In her cool arms, and dream of america
