American

Walking the line

Playing for time

The fatherless child

In haunted places

When life is so cruel

How can you stay cool?

They see your opinion

And try to change your mind

Hey hey hey

You're the lucky one

Your chances are about to come

Hey hey hey

You're strong enough to have success

I'm proud to be American

The power of faith

The love and the hate

The notion of pain

Can never hold you back

In the land of the free

In the city of dreams

You decide what you need

And get the best of all

Hey hey hey

You're the chosen one

Your chances are about to come

Hey hey hey

You can compete with everyone

You're proud to be American

Hey hey hey

You're the lucky one

Your chances are about to come

Hey hey hey

You're strong enough to have success

I'm proud to be American

I'm never gonna lie

I'm never gonna cry

I never wanna try

Try to be something I could never be

And you can never be

And I'm never left behind

Hey hey hey

You're strong enough to have success

I'm proud to be American

I'm never gonna cry

I'm never gonna sigh

I'm never gonna die

Try to be someone I never wanna be

And you can never be

And you can never hope to find

I'm never gonna lie

I'm never gonna sigh

I'm never gonna die

Try to be someone I never wanna be

And you can never be

And you can never hope to find
