That's What Makes Us Great Lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

[Verse 1] 

They come from everywhere 

A longing to be free 

They come to join us here 

From sea to shining sea 

And they all have a dream 

As people always will 

To be safe and warm 

In that shining city on the hill 

Some wanna slam the door 

Instead of opening the gate 

Aw, let's turn this thing around 

Before it gets too late

[Chorus] 

It's up to me and you 

Love can conquer hate 

I know this to be true 

That's what makes us great 

[Verse 2] 

Don't tell me a lie 

And sell it as a fact 

I've been down that road before 

And I ain't goin' back 

And don't you brag to me 

That you never read a book 

I never put my faith 

In a con man and his crooks 

I won't follow down that path 

And tempt the hands of fate 

Aw, let's turn this thing around 

Before it gets too late

[Chorus] 

It's up to me and you 

Love can conquer hate 

I know this to be true 

That's what makes us great 

In the quiet of the night 

I lie here wide awake 

And I ask myself 

Is there a difference I can make? 

[Chorus] 

It's up to me and you 

Love can conquer hate 

I know this to be true 

That's what makes us great
