American Man

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

And destinies reached

And Histories made

It seems we've com to a crossroad

All our standards are compromised

I pray that our Lady Liberty

Will awaken before she dies

Repeat 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
