American Dreamers

Like many people, I've been caught up in the inspiring stories and the tidal wave of enthusiasm of the past few weeks. Every songwriter is required by law to write at least one anthem -- this new song is probably as close as I will get to compliance.

American Dreamers is available as a free download on our website. And Craig (bless his heart) offered enough musical input to get co-writer credit.




American Dreamers

She remembers the view from the back of the bus
She remembers the words to We Shall Overcome
She remembers that long march on Washington
She’s an American Dreamer
And she loves dreaming again

He served in Iraq -- a proud US Marine
When came back, his factory job was overseas
But this hard-working man will roll up his sleeves
He’s an American Dreamer
And he loves dreaming again


American Dreamers believe
The American dream lives and breathes
Hear freedom ring throughout the land
When American Dreamers join hands

Banners wave – change is blowin’ in the wind
American grace keeps her promises
The best we can be is where it begins
It begins with American Dreamers
We love dreaming again

American Dreamers believe
The American dream lives and breathes
Hear freedom ring throughout the land
When American Dreamers join hands
