Straight outta school but still just a fool
thought the streets were paved with gold
he moved off the block and
found he was lost
in a world he d never known
he had to hustle so he could pay the rent
played all the aces and wound up president
you see it s okay
got to find your own way
keep on trying all day
and you know your time will come
you ll get your chance to run

You re livin in America
you re livin in the home of the dream
you re livin in America
just make it what you want it to be

Soap opera child with hope in her eyes
lookin for a starrin role
she came into town and acted the clown
had a longlong way to go
waitin on tables and pumpin gasoline
she served and agent
now she s a movie queen
you see it s okay
got to find your own way
keep on tryin all day
and you know the time will come
for each and everyone

You re livin in America
you re livin in the home of the dream
you re livin in America
just make it what you want it to be

You ll stand alone on a long hard road
with a crowd that you can t see
just start by steppin out
then let your mind run free

You re livin in America
you re livin in the home of the dream
you re livin in America
just make it what you want it to be

It s okay
you re livin in the USA
find your dream
you know that dream can set
you free

It s okay
we re part of the United State
you and me
can be just what we wanna be
he s okay
he left the block and reached
the top
she s all right
the agent put her name in lights

He s okay
he s paid his rent he s president
she s all right
she s on your TV screen tonight
