The sun rays shimmer
On the Hudson river
Framing the sky
Is the New York skyline
A busy day begins and
From a window in the train
You can see the bridge
That appeared in movies
And in your dreams
The American Dream
In a teenager the only dream
She had always cherished
She knows the golden ripples
Arent true and wont last
As the sun will go down
No it wasnt for all that
It means to everyone else
The American Dream
To her the dream was a life
She had lived in another time
Lost in time and space
She comes back to the place
She thinks will give answers
To her lifelong quest
