Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Woke up to the rain on the tin roof
Mama singing low in the hall
Papa packed the truck before sunrise
We were young enough to lose it all
Seven hundred miles of green highway
Dusty towns and truck stop signs
I was scared but you were laughing
Said we'd make it in our own sweet time
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know where we're going
But I know who I'm beside
[Chorus]
We are all from the Americas
Every river every road
We are all from the Americas
Carry stories that we hold
Half a world apart we started
Now we're standing side by side
We are all from the Americas
Nowhere left for us to hide
[Verse 2]
I learned your words across a kitchen table
You learned mine on a porch swing slow
Poco a poco we were talking
Little by little letting go
Your abuela taught me how to dance right
My old man taught you how to drive
Two flags hanging off the same post
Two stubborn hearts just glad to be alive
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know where we're going
But I know who I'm beside
[Chorus]
We are all from the Americas
Every river every road
We are all from the Americas
Carry stories that we hold
Half a world apart we started
Now we're standing side by side
We are all from the Americas
Nowhere left for us to hide
[Bridge]
No line drawn on a map
Can split a hand from a hand
No flag up on a pole
Can tell us where we stand
No ocean wide enough
No wall that's tall enough
No word that's cold enough
[Chorus]
We are all from the Americas
Every river every road
We are all from the Americas
Carry stories that we hold
Half a world apart we started
Now we're standing side by side
We are all from the Americas
Nowhere left for us to hide
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh oh-oh
Poco a poco
Oh-oh oh-oh
Every day
[Instrumental Outro]
