It hardly seems like a year ago that I packed my bags and some money I'd saved,
I had a yearning to find myself, and to see this land of the free and the brave,
I saw my first mountain sunrise from an Appalachian range,
I felt a heavenly presence and a rushing wind of change.
I am an American man,
I'm made of American dreams,
I am an American man, (Hey, hey)
Returning to the things I once believed.
I've talked to people who still work the land, who toil with their hands for an honest day's wage,
I've seen the stuff from which legends were born, and destinies reached, and histories made,
It seems we've come to a crossroad, all our standards are compromised,
I pray that our lady liberty will awaken before she dies.
I am an American man, (American)
I'm made of American dreams,
I am an American man, (Hey, hey)
Returning to the things I once believed.
And if the people who come in his name will humble, and pray, and seek his face,
Then he will hear us from Heaven and heal our land of the free and brave.
And if the people who come in his name will humble, and pray, and seek his face,

I am an American man, (Hey, hey)
Returning to the things I once believed.
