Il testo della Calling america

I dreamt i was a refugee
Who lived outside of town
My family in a barrio shack
Battered and run down

We had a friend from america
Helped out, we took him in
Like my brother he disappeared
They said, he was with him, oh yeah

There we were far out at sea
And somehow we got lost
Then we landed hard on shore
There upon the rocks

While celebration shook the air
We turned to hear some shots
There's ones that have been here far too long
We think, they've lost the plot, oh yeah

Here i go again
Leaving things out while i'm leaving things in
Where, where should i begin?
Feeling so full or feeling so thin

Calling america
Man i know you're out there
Sisters are you breathing

Calling america
This thing they call america
It really is a dream, oh yeah

Then i stood there face to face
With a girl that i once knew
She was dressed in gingham there
In colors red, white and blue

The more i spoke, the less she heard
And then she slipped away
And i just stood there sinking
Far beneath the waves, oh yeah

Here we go again
Leaving things out while we're leaving things in
Where, where should we begin?
Feeling so full or feeling so thin

Calling america
Man i know you're out there
Can't you hear me calling?

Calling america
Sister, are you out there?
Can't you feel me dreaming?

Calling america
This thing they call america
Really what does it mean, yeah?

Calling america
This thing they call america
It really is a dream, oh yeah

Here we go again
Leaving things out while we're leaving things in
Where, where should we begin?
Feeling so full or feeling so thin, oh yeah

Calling america
Man i know, you're out there
Sister, are you breathing?

Calling america
This thing they call america
It really is a dream

Calling america
Sister, are you out there?
Can't you feel me breathing?

Calling america
Sister, are you out there?
Can't you feel me breathing?

Calling america
This thing they call america
Really what does it mean, yeah?

Calling america
Oh, man i know, you're out there
Can't you feel me breathing?

Calling america
Breathing
Breathing
Calling america
