Analysis : Hands That Built America

Oh my love, it’s a long way we’ve come
From the freckled hills, to the steel and glass canyons
From the stony fields, to hanging steel from sky
From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye
These are the hands that built America
(Russian, Sioux, Dutch, Hindu
Polish, Irish, German, Italian)
Last saw your face in a watercolour sky
As sea birds argued, a long goodbye
I took your kiss on the spray of the new land star
You
