American Dream
Madison Rising Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But many people come from far away
To live in peace and true equality
And feel the strong wind of democracy
I see a vision of the Promised Land
A place where everybody has a chance
To build a home we are proud to know
And give respect to those who made it so
We strive to keep the dream alive
For you and I to realize
American Dream
We speak our minds
And fight to keep our dream alive
The proud and the free is who we are
We'll stand together we've come this far
From coast to coast and to the mountains high
The beauty of our sovereign nation shines
From the hearts of every countryman
Into the yearning minds of our children
For the hungry world we plant the seeds
Giving hope to those who really need
And send our soldiers off foreign lands
To defend the rights of those who cant
We strive to keep the dream alive
For you and I to realize
For every faith, and all beliefs
On every city and small town street
All our colors blend to one
But these colors will never run
American dream, like a light
That keeps on shining through the darkest night
The home of the brave the land of the free
To share this opportunity
Cause this is the American Dream
To live our lives
To see our destiny arise
The proud and the free
We speak our minds
And strive to keep our dreams alive
The American dream
Madison Rising's song "American Dream" reflects the idea of the American Dream - a dream of a nation comprising people of different ethnicities and nationalities united under a common banner of democracy, peace, and equality. The song gives a tribute to the greatness and valor of America and its citizens. The lyrics convey a sense of pride and heroism about the nation's people, geography, and history. The singer expresses the spirit of the nation as a place where everyone has a fair shot at building their homes and leading prosperous lives. The song also acknowledges the considerable sacrifices of the nation's veterans who have always remained committed to defending the country's liberties and rights.
The first verse humbly points out the singer's origin from the United States, a country that has always welcomed immigrants to live in peace and democracy. The second verse emphasizes the need to keep the American Dream alive by fighting to maintain the democratic ideals, and the chorus emphasizes the idea that the American Dream is a representation of unity and integrity of the people.
