Starting Over
Step out into the sunlight
Emerging from the past
To breathe the breezy morning air at last
We walk the sunken highways
We wander riven roads
The emptiness becoming our abode
We’re starting over
Build something new
We’ve been a long long time a-waiting but we made it through
We’re starting over
Red, white and blue
It’s a brand new American dream for me and you
These West Virginia wildwoods
Across a world of waste
A garden with no fences and no gates
We’re building on the ashes
We’re lighting up the town
Our reclamation day has come around
We’re starting over
Build something new
We’ve been a long long time a-waiting but we made it through
We’re starting over
Red, white and blue
It’s a brand new American dream for me and you
And like a mushroom cloud we rise and spread
Over each road and mountain range
New wars to wrangle and new blood to shed
We know that some things never change
We’re starting over (we’re starting over)
Build something new (build something new)
We’ve been a long long time a-waiting but we made it through
We’re starting over (we’re starting over)
Red, white and blue
It’s a brand new American dream for me and you
It’s a brand new American dream for me and you
