America, America
I hear you beckon me and I know your call is true
It's you who raise your hand, but I carry the torch for you
America, America
There've been so many times you've opened up your door
So many times we've loved and still I beg for more
Here I am on the outside
Feeling you here on the inside
Wish I could be on the right side
Just this time
Look at me on the outside
Feeling you here on the inside
When will I be on the right side
Make you mine
America, America
I come to you for fortune and for fame
I wanna win it big but I don't steer the game
America, America
You gave your dream to me and with it set me free
And what I give you back is only misery
Here I am on the outside
Feeling you here on the inside
Wish I could be on the right side
Just this time
Look at me on the outside
Feeling you here on the inside
When will I be on the right side
Make you mine
America, America
