American Soul

Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen, Paul David Hewson

Lyrics Translation

Blessed are the bullies
For one day they will have to stand up to themselves
Blessed are the liars
For the truth can be awkward

It's not a place
This country is to me a sound
Of drum and bass
You close your eyes to look around

Look around, look around
Look around, it's a sound
Look around, look around
It's a sound

It's not a place
This country is to me a thought
That offers grace
For every welcome that is sought

You are rock and roll
You and I are rock and roll
You are rock and roll
Came here looking for American soul

It's not a place
This is a dream the whole world owns
The pilgrim's face
It had your heart to call her home

Call her home, Brother John
So every mother's weepin'
Dream on, Brother John
In your dreams you get me sleepin'

You are rock and roll
You and I are rock and roll
You are rock and roll
Came here looking for American soul

American, American

Put your hands in the air
Hold on the sky
Could be too late, but we still gotta try
There's a moment in our life where a soul can die
And the person in a country when you believe the lie
The lie (the lie, the lie)
There's a promise in the heart of every good dream
It's a call to action, not to fantasy
The end of a dream, the start of what's real
Let it be unity, let it be community
For refugees like you and me
A country to receive us
Will you be our sanctuary
Refu-Jesus

You are rock and roll
You and I are rock and roll
You are rock and roll
Came here looking for American soul

You are rock and roll
You and I are rock and roll
You are rock and roll
Came here looking for American soul

American soul, American soul

Blessed are the bullies
Benditos são os valentões
For one day they will have to stand up to themselves
Pois um dia eles terão que enfrentar a si mesmos
Blessed are the liars
Benditos são os mentirosos
For the truth can be awkward
Pois a verdade pode ser desconfortável
It's not a place
Não é um lugar
This country is to me a sound
Este país é para mim um som
Of drum and bass
De bateria e baixo
You close your eyes to look around
Você fecha os olhos para olhar em volta
Look around, look around
Olhe em volta, olhe em volta
Look around, it's a sound
Olhe em volta, é um som
Look around, look around
Olhe em volta, olhe em volta
It's a sound
É um som
It's not a place
Não é um lugar
This country is to me a thought
Este país é para mim um pensamento
