Music and Lyrics by Laurel Thomsen. Additional musical arrangements by Dan Frechette.

lyrics

Dark highways stretch for miles
Through town's that are all gone
Ghosts howl through the cracks
Where our lives once had grown
And fear has a name
Clings tight to his mama's side
A hungry child in a world that's broken

We're all drinking from the same cup
Fighting all the way up
A dream held tight in effigy
I'm an American refugee
America the beautiful
America the grand
America the sand
Slipping right from your hand
Slipping right from your hand

We've traded on our dreams
Health, happiness, and homes
But corruption makes the rounds
Stacking money on every roll
There are monkeys writin' rules
Building prisons for our kids
Squeezing dry our dreamers, cashing in their bets

May the road rise up to meet you
But faith not make you blind
To all the gifts that silence brings
To all that comes of making noise
And if you find yourself alone
Driving by candlelight
Open your doors and gather
We're all in this together

All together/driving by candlelight
All together/where our lives once had grown
All together/driving by candlelight
All together, all together, all together
