Amerika The Brave

(album: Hobo With A Grin - 1978)

Sunny wanted to shine for you, Amerika the Brave
Since the beginning of his conscious days, determined to glow for you
He went into an ocean blue that was taking him nowhere
Then he said to himself in these too few words, "Amerika, have me if you dare"

Sailing into a lonely night, our hero again lost his way, called for his comrades
And to the bridge he waved sayin, "Sailor, keep that eagle in sight"
A ship in the distance glowed, it was Columbus returning to base
He said, " I just discovered Amerika is a hell of a heavenly place"

It is a (magnet, dragnet, Amerika the brave)
It is a (dragnet, magnet, Amerika the brave)

Sweeping into a hurricane, young Sunny was beginning to lose the will to continue
He knew he had to chose between adventure and what he had gained
He summoned his flagging crew and read them the riot act
And as one they were screaming this into the moon, "We'll find Amerika, there's no turning back"
There's no turning back

It is a (magnet) and a (dragnet, Amerika the brave)
It is a (dragnet) and a (magnet, Amerika the brave) ooh
It is a (magnet) and a (dragnet, Amerika the brave)
And a (dragnet) and a (magnet) Amerika, Amerika
It is a (magnet) and a (dragnet, Amerika the brave)
