Donnie Munro - Heart of America lyrics

I see the flags in the morning rain as they Flutter out the road at the start of a new day Where in the light of the morning runs Sharon Springs and the old hotel feel my heart rise With the hope they felt on their journey When they moved on to glory They dared to dream their dreams In the heart of America They dared to face their fears In the heart of America From Europes shores where they fled in droves as they Left darklands and broken homes for a new dawn We're awaiting the Angel Ellis Island stand in line hide the weakness in this child of mine As she stumbles out in search of a reason To put out all her dreams In the heart of America To search amongst her fears In the heart of America To end the veil of tears In the heart of America Forgiving those that ever brought her down The windscreen wipers slappin' time Bobby sang the blues as We stepped out on the line We stepped out in the line Empty faces heavy loads station wagons dusty roads As we move on, right on out to the Prairie Where they planted fields of hope In the heart of America Where the seeds they've sown won't grow In the heart of America The dustbowl thet we've known In the heart of America Where a man must make hie own way through this world
