an american hymn

Alessandro Safina

I have seen a summer day
That slowly opens like a rose
Along a quiet road that wanders by
And I have smiled and wondered
Where it goes

I have stumbled through the night
Alone as any man can be
Then found a silent canyon full of stars
And in my heart I heard them telling me
I was home

The gentle winds
The rains that fall
The tallest trees and I m part of it all

I ve seen the silver mountain tops
And golden prairies on my way
Now everywhere I go across the land
I stand so proudly in the sun and say
I am home

I ve dreamed of Eden all my life

I find it more and more each day
Now everywhere I go across the land
I stand so proudly in the sun and say
I am home
