It hardly seems like a year ago that I packed my bags and some Money I'd saved
I had a yearning to find myself - and to see this land of the free and the brave
I saw my first mountain sunrise from an Appalachian range
I felt a heavenly presence and a rushing wind of change
Chorus:
I am an American man - I'm made of American dreams
I am an American man - returning to the things I once believed
I've talked to people who still work the land - who toil with their hands for an honest day's wage
I've seen the stuff from which legends were born - destinies reached and histories made
It seems we've come to a crossroad - all our standards are compromised
I pray that our Lady Liberty will awaken before she dies
(Chorus)
And if the people who come in His name will humble and pray and seek His face
Then He will hear us from heaven
And heal our land of the free and brave
