Lyrics
American Girl
If I could, I would take away your pain.
If I could I would make it go away.
Like the dawn of a new morning.
I want to believe.
I've got to have faith.
I want to know that peace will conquere hate.
And I want to feel like there is some hope, like I've made a difference in this crazy old world.
I'm just an American Girl.
If I could I would make you understand.
If I could I would give you all I can.
Put these broken pieces back together again.
'Cause I wanna believe
I've got to have faith.
I want to know that peace will conquere hate.
I want to feel like there is some hope.
like I've made a difference in this crazy old world.
I'm just an American Girl.
Surrender to the darkness, you'll find the light.
My broken spirit still finds the will to fight.
Listen to the children of the sun.
Hear them singin' "we shall overcome"
'Cause I want to believe
I've got to have faith.
I want to know that peace will conquere hate.
I want to feel like there is hope.
Like I've made a difference in this crazy old world.
'Cause I want to believe
I've got to have faith.
I want to know that peace will conquere hate.
I want to feel like there is hope.
Like I've made a difference in this crazy old world.
I'm just an American Girl.
