I had been hopeful that I would have the time to get closer to you If you wanted me to I feel like crying the more I think about the times that I tried To say the things I was thinking of At the time

Rise to the top of the world, America America, don't you cry Give me strength to press on Feel you close like you wanted me to Believe in you Is this just an illusion That I made inside my head to get me by? Twenty years in debt
