Letra
They herded us like so much meat Up from the sewers to the street Where concrete canyons stretched their walls So high it made us want to crawl Past proverbs writ on subway cars And in between the window bars We walked until that pavement bled And not a curse was left unsaid Searching for America In the rivets and the rust Searching for America Finding only dust They gave us each a cropper's shack And land so hard it broke the back And they fed us 'til our bellies burst On promises that died at birth I lay the baby out each dawn In between the tender corn Blue sky for her bonnet And flies her only blanket We harvested until we bled And every single root ran red When the work was finally done They gave our names to immigration Searching for America In the rivers and the coasts Searching for America Finding only ghosts Who are these people you have seen To dream this dark and distant dream? To tell the stories you have told To leave these bruises on your soul We are the flesh, we are the bone We are the very cornerstone We leave our mansions and our shacks To hide here in between the cracks To walk until they run no more And wash up on some distant shore Where truth is not the enemy And whatever does not kill us, sets us free Somewhere out there Are millions just like me We are homesick for Eden Heartsick at the memory Searching for America In every stick and stone Searching for America Going home Searching for America Going home
