American Dreamin'
Brooke Eden Lyrics

Well I've always been the girl with stars in her eyes
Throughout her life, the singer has always been hopeful, optimistic and admired the future with much fascination and anticipation.

Now they're sayin' there's a hole in my apple pie sky
Recently, people have been trying to bring down her confidence by highlighting shortcomings in her perfect world, which threatens her peace of mind.

But I just keep lookin' up
Despite the negativity, the singer is determined to focus on the positive and remain optimistic in the face of adversities.

They say we're slippin' down that slippery slope
The people around her are pessimistic about the future and believe that everything is going downhill rapidly and the situation is going from bad to worse.

Hard to hold onto faith when you're losin' hope
It's challenging to have faith in the future when she's already given up on the prospect of a better tomorrow.

But I ain't givin' in to givin' up
She's determined to keep pushing through and facing her challenges head-on without giving up or losing hope.

So yo, here we go, American Dreamin'
As a citizen of this great nation, she's embracing and celebrating the American dream, which is the idea that anybody can achieve success and prosperity through hard work and determination.

Free fallin', free wheelin'
She's taking risks and living life on her terms, free from external constraints and worries.

Ya judges and ya haters can't stop this feelin'
The singer acknowledges that there are individuals who are envious, jealous or simply try to bring her down, but their negativity won't detract her from pursuing happiness and achieving her dreams.

Somebody lovin', somebody leavin'
Love and heartbreak are a part of life, and everyone experiences these emotions.

But it's the same blood we're all bleeding
Despite individual differences and beliefs, every human is alike and shares the same human condition.

We all still lookin' for somethin' to believe in
At the end of the day, everybody wants something to hold onto, whether it's faith in a higher power, a meaningful relationship or a personal goal.

Y'all, it's called American Dreamin'
She repeats the song’s title to emphasize the importance of this ideology as a means of personal fulfillment.

Girls gotta be hot, guys gotta be strong
The pressure to conform to society's standards of beauty and masculinity is present in everyone's life.

But ain't we all just trying to belong
Despite our differences, we all want to be accepted and feel like we belong somewhere.

And I'm just trying to be me
The singer has accepted herself and chooses to be her true self, regardless of societal norms.

Oh show your true colors, let 'em shine through
She encourages others to embrace their uniqueness and showcase themselves for who they genuinely are rather than conforming to societal pressures.

Cause love is still love no matter who's lovin' who
She believes that a love between any two consenting adults is valid and beautiful, regardless of gender, race or religion.

And I'm gonna find someone who loves me for me
The singer is determined to find a partner who loves and accepts her, flaws and all.

Mama calls me up, says whatcha doin' girl?

I worry boutcha out there in this big crazy world

When you coming home, mama I can't say

My brothers and my sisters y'all know this feelin'
