Got to be the best that you can be
So you leave it behind
believing in your dream.
On the threshold of what you've been told
Got to grab a hold 'cause the streets are paved with gold.
You work so hard just to break the ice
gotta make the dream come true
And you take a chance when you roll the dice
then it all comes back to you.
An American dream came true
the vision coming into view.
Now can you hear it calling you? Somehow I always knew:
An American dream came true
an open door that I walked through.
I hit it with the cards I drew.
Lightning strikes from the blue
It's calling you - American dream.
At the speed of light every night and day
Living on the edge but the dream won't go away.
Follow your plan 'cause you know you can
Make it to the top wanna hold it in your hand.
You work so hard just to break the ice
An American dream came true
an open door that I walked through
An American dream came true
the vision coming into view. . . .
An American dream came true
an open door that I walked through.
I hit it with the cards I drew.
Lightning strikes from the blue
An American dream came true.
