lirik lagu the promise and the dream – tom t. hall
[verse 1:]
there’s a sadness in your singing, i have never heard before
there’s a dying in your living that exists from sh0r- to sh0r-
there’s a coward in your character that i have never seen
america, what happened to the promise and the dream
[chorus:]
the promise was that men could live and worship as they please
the dream was for the huddled m-sses yearning to breathe free
we closed so many doors and banned the prayers on many scenes
america, what happened to the promise and the dream
[verse 2:]
there’s a numbness in your feeling for the disadvantaged poor
there’s a weakness in your strength
because your leaders are unsure
there are shadows in the light
that once was freedom’s brightest beam
america, what happened to the promise and the dream
[chorus]
[verse 3:]
there’s a hating in your loving for the permanence of vows
tomorrow doesn’t matter it’s all for the here and now
your most important word called love is now a dirty thing
america, what happened to the promise and the dream
[chorus]
