Last Chance America Songtext
Are you a swallow
Who sat and mended your broken wings
Who would not follow
But who had the heart left to lead?
Did you hide in the chimney at night?
Did you dream such terrible dreams?
If you're finally ready for flight, come with me
Singing,
"Last chance, America!"
And once together
We'll cut across a whole continent
And more will gather
Than the joy that's to sing all of this
We've been saving ourselves, but for what?
Because what we have saved should be spent
I could tell you that if sudden thoughts...
But what then?
Singing, "Shalalala
I don't care if I'm wrong
I will give what I have to the song
If you know we'll go out, sing along
Last chance, America!"
"Shalalala
I don't care if I'm wrong
I will give what I have to the song
If you know we'll go out, sing along
Last chance, America!
Last chance
Last chance, America!"
"Shalalala,
I don't care if I'm wrong
I will give what I have to the song
If you know we'll go out, sing along
Last chance, America!"
Who sat and mended your broken wings
Who would not follow
But who had the heart left to lead?
Did you hide in the chimney at night?
Did you dream such terrible dreams?
If you're finally ready for flight, come with me
Singing,
"Last chance, America!"
And once together
We'll cut across a whole continent
And more will gather
Than the joy that's to sing all of this
We've been saving ourselves, but for what?
Because what we have saved should be spent
I could tell you that if sudden thoughts...
But what then?
Singing, "Shalalala
I don't care if I'm wrong
I will give what I have to the song
If you know we'll go out, sing along
Last chance, America!"
"Shalalala
I don't care if I'm wrong
I will give what I have to the song
If you know we'll go out, sing along
Last chance, America!
Last chance
Last chance, America!"
"Shalalala,
I don't care if I'm wrong
I will give what I have to the song
If you know we'll go out, sing along
Last chance, America!"
