Looking For America

Rocky Mountains where your history goes back before the start of time.
I wanna run your railroad all the way.
I've been told that nothing's changed. I wanna see it just the same
I am a follower. I'm waiting. Show the way.
Though I have travelled all my life, I've never had the time to take a wife
Maybe I've been young or just done something wrong.
But now that that's all said and done, with what strength I have left.
I'm calling out" America. Can't you hear my song"?

I'm looking for America.
Has anybody seen that big bald eagle flying high?
I'm looking for America.
A silver dollar says that rainbow's gonna lead to more than dimes.

From Stockton, Massachusetts out to Boston in New England.
Everybody wants to be there in the fall.
The kaleidoscope of colours as the leaves drop to the ground.
It's no wonder Betsy Ross saw reds and blues and white.
Old Glory blowing in the wind . You need no kings or queens
Under a flag where all are equal, despite colour class or creed.
As liberty looks out she's carrying a torch of ever lasting light.
But I am blind I wish that it would shine for me.

I'm looking for America.
Has anybody seen that big bald eagle flying high?
I'm looking for America.
A silver dollar says that rainbow's gonna lead to more than dimes.

Out on the West Coast where the Golden Gate is open to a generation
Living in the dream of yesterday.
But that was in the future no so very long ago.
But time is timeless if you've got the time to stay.
Though I am searching for a dream, I'm pretty much the same as any man.
It's just that when I wake the visions are still strong.
So I'm calling out again. Once more I'm echoing your name.
America. Please open up your door.

I'm looking for America.
Has anybody seen that big bald eagle flying high?
I'm looking for America.
A silver dollar says that rainbow's gonna lead to more than dimes.
