[00:00:00] Faces of America - Dan Fogelberg

[00:00:01] Written by：D. Fogelberg

[00:00:25] There was a time a simpler time

[00:00:31] When a man could be sure of where he stood

[00:00:37] I used to work at the yard working honest and hard

[00:00:43] The hours were long but the pay was oh so good

[00:00:49] I had a family and friends oh so many friends

[00:00:56] We'd drive to the lake on holidays

[00:01:02] Back then it wasn't so dear for a sandwich or beer

[00:01:08] At night I still dream I can see their faces

[00:01:15] Certain things that you depend upon

[00:01:21] There are places that you know

[00:01:27] And the faces of America

[00:01:30] Oh where do they go where did they go

[00:01:48] I was born on a farm a mid western farm

[00:01:54] I rode on the tractor with my dad

[00:02:00] And though we never had much it was always enough

[00:02:06] And we made the best with what we had

[00:02:12] But then came four years of drought and the bottom dropped out

[00:02:19] My father was broken like the rest

[00:02:25] And I can still see his hands signing over his lands

[00:02:31] And the bankers grow fat on the flesh of the dispossessed

[00:02:38] Certain things that you depend upon

[00:02:44] There are places I can go I sift the ashes of America

[00:02:53] For someplace I used to know

[00:02:55] Someplace I used to know

[00:02:56] Someplace I used to know

[00:02:58] Someplace I used to know

[00:02:59] Someplace I used to know

[00:03:26] There was a time a simpler time

[00:03:32] When a man could be sure of where he stood

[00:03:38] I used to work at the yard working honest and hard

[00:03:45] The hours were long but the pay was oh so good

[00:03:51] Certain things that you depend upon I used to think were guaranteed

[00:04:03] Like the right of every man to work and feed his family

[00:04:10] And feed his family

[00:04:13] And the faces of America seem so distant and estranged

[00:04:25] Have their eyes become too blind to see

[00:04:28] How much their hearts have changed

[00:04:30] How much their hearts have changed

[00:04:32] How much their hearts have changed

[00:04:33] How much their hearts have changed

[00:04:34] How much their hearts have changed
