The Hands That Built America Lyrics - U2

Oh my love, it's a long way we've come 

From the freckled hills to the steel glass canyons 

From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky 

From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye 

These are the hands that built America 

(Russian, Sioux, Dutch, Hindu) 

Oh, oh oh, America 

(Polish, Irish, German, Italian) 

Last saw your face in a watercolour sky 

As sea birds argue, a long goodbye 

I took your kiss, on the spray of the Newline Star 

You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And these are the hands, that built America 

(The Irish, the Blacks, the Chinese, the Jews) 

Ah, ah ah, America / Hand 

(Korean, Hispanic, Muslim, Indian) 

Of all of the promises, is this one we could keep 

Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach 

Out ta outa reeeach 

(Dream-oh-yeah) 

(Oh oh-dream, oh love)

It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline 

Innocence, dragged across a yellow line 

These are the hands that built America 

These are the hands that built America 

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah America
