4kal - The American Dream Lyrics

In a land far away, I left my home behind
With a heart full of hope and dreams in my mind
The streets were cold, the nights were long
Every day was a fight just to stay strong

But I held on tight to the promise in my heart
That one day I'd shine, play my part
Through the darkest nights, I'd find my light
Air rise above, take my flight

I'm living the American dream
From the bottom to the top I've seen
All the struggles, all the pain
Now I'm standing in the rain

But it's washing all my fears away
Ooh
Every door that slammed, every tear that fell
Built a fire inside, I knew I'd prevail

From the factory floor to the city lights
I worked my way up through endless nights
The road was tough, the climb was steep
But I kept the faith, refused to weep

With every step I grew strong
This is where I belong
I'm living the American dream
From the bottom to the top I've seen

All the struggles, all the pain
Now I'm standing in the rain
But it's washing all my fears away
The road was tough, the climb was steep

But I kept the faith, refused to weep
With every step I grew strong
This is where I belong
I'm living the American dream

From the bottom to the top I've seen
All the struggles, all the pain
Now I'm standing in the rain
But it's washing all my fears away

Now I see the sunrise, a brand new day
All the battles fought paved my way
The future's bright, the path is clear
I've made it through, no more fear

I'm living the American dream
From the bottom to the top I've seen
All the struggles, all the pain
Now I'm standing in the rain

But it's washing all my fears away
From a stranger in a new land
To a story that's grand
I won this fight, now I'll shine so bright
