My American

Friend

A song by Fred Pohlman

I had a dream last night

I had a vision of you

in the dream we stood a nation mighty and great

somehow divided in two

and I stood before the ocean

I heard a voice in the wind

and it whispered to me

what's happend to you

my American friend

And I stood before the ocean

upon the sand of the sea

and I looked upon the waters flowing there

with a froth and disease

and in the roar of my emotions

I heard the voices of men

and they wispered to me

what's happened to you

my American friend

And as I looked back toward the prairies

past the waves of grain

I saw the shadow of the whole world's hungry there

on the fruited plain

and as I looked upon the bounty

I had to feel so ashamed

had to ask of myself

what's happened to you

my american friend

And we're gonna take it to the White House

gonna take us a stand (..united we'll stand)

we're gonna sing out a song of love and change

across this great heartland

gonna sing it for the whole world

till We hear it again

till we hear all the whole world welcoming back

their American friends

Yes I had a dream last night

I had a vision of you

in the dream we stood a nation mighty and great

divided in two

and I stood before the ocean

I heard the voices of men

and they whispered to me

what's happened to you

my American friend

what's happened to you what's happened to you

my American friend...
