A PLACE IN AMERICA

Lyrics by Michael "Foxfire" Evangelista
from the CD Living in a Dream
by Nowhere Blue


Once was a place in America
small country town name of Free
once was a time,
you could make a dime
being what you want to be


But now, the time has come
this place has gone like the wind
now, the time has come, my friend
to get back to freedom again


Once was a thing in America
green little plant called a tree
once was a day the children would play
and people got apples for free


Now, the time has come
these things have gone like the wind
now, the time has come, my friend
to get back to forests again


Once was a dream in America
of the way that our good life could be
no hunger no war,
who could ask for more
but simple sweet equality


But now the time has come
we can't go on like the wind
now the time has come my friend
to get back to dreaming again
to get back to forests again
to get back to freedom again
