Donna Summer - Livin' In America

[Verse 1]
Straight outta school but still just a fool
Thought the streets were paved with gold
He moved off the block and found he was lost
In a world he'd never known
He had to hustle so he could pay the rent
Played all the aces and wound up president

[Pre-Chorus]
You see it's okay (Baby)
Got to find your own way
(Hold your dream real tight)
Keep on tryin' all day
(Some days are hard)
And you know your time will come
You'll get your chance to run

[Chorus]
You're livin' in America
You're livin' in the home of the dream
You're livin' in America
Just make it what you want it to be

[Verse 2]
Soap opera child with hope in her eyes
Looking for a starring role
She came into town and acted the clown
Had a long, long way to go
Waiting on tables and pumpin' gasoline
She served an agent, now she's a movie queen [Pre-Chorus]
You see it's okay
(It's all okay)
Got to find your own way
(Hold on to your dream)
Keep on tryin' all day
(Sometimes it's hard)
And you know the time will come
For each and everyone

[Chorus]
You're livin' in America
You're livin' in the home of the dream
Don't be afraid
You're livin' in America
Just make it what you want it to be

[Bridge]
You'll stand alone on a long hard road
With a crowd that you can't see
Just start by steppin' out
Then let your mind run free

[Chorus]
You're livin' in America
You're livin' in the home of the dream
You're livin' in America
Just make it what you want it to be

[Outro]
You're livin' in America
(Come on now)
You're livin' in the home of the dream
(Put your hands together, let's say it real loud)
You're livin' in America
(A country of the people, for the people, and by the people)
Just make it what you want it to be
(Let me hear everybody sing it loud and clear, let's go)
You're livin' in America
(I know you believe it)
You're livin' in the home of the dream
(So don't you be afraid)
You're livin' in America
(Come on, everyone)
Just make it what you want it to be
(I love you, America)
You're livin' in America
(And all the big cities across the country, let's sing it for 'em)
You're livin' in the home of the dream
(So don't you be afraid, no, no)
You're livin' in America
(Sing it for me, children)
Just make it what you want it to be
(Don't you be afraid)
You're livin' in America
(Put your hands together — you got it)
You're livin' in the home of the dream
(Come on, come on out there in L.A.)
You're livin' in America
(Come on in Georgia, Idaho, Wyoming)
You're livin' in the home of the dream
(Texas, Massachusetts, Connecticut)
You're livin' in America
(New York, come on, everybody, Alabama)
You're livin' in the home of the dream
(Let's say it now, Washington, D.C.)
You're livin' in America
