The American Dream

[Verse] A boy from Dublin in the land of saints In the city lights pursued the dreams and paints With a fiddle's tune and the wind of change He sailed away chasing the land so strange [Verse 2] Through the streets of New York where the high hopes rise With a heart of gold and the gleaming eyes In a world so loud where the silence fades To find his place where the dream parades [Chorus] O'er the hills and the valleys green From the Emerald Isle to the American dream With a song in his heart and a will so keen He’s carving out his path unseen [Verse 3] From a pub on Main where his voice was heard To the big stages where he's now the word With a story old and a spirit bold He stands tall where the tales unfold [Bridge] Through the trials hard and the nights so long With a courage firm and a voice so strong In the land of the brave where the dreams belong He's singing loud the Irish song [Chorus] O'er the hills and the valleys green From the Emerald Isle to the American dream With a song in his heart and a will so keen He’s carving out his path unseen
