Born in 1918
They put a hammer in his hand
His father said, "Son, when you grow up
You're gonna be a working man"
This here is America
And I sailed from across the sea
And I proudly say you are born on it's soil
And they tell me that means you're free
Yeah they tell me that means you're free

Oh, dreams of hope
How we hold
Them close
But as time
Goes on by
We gotta keep on pushin'
Just to survive

Depression hit in '29
It took every dollar from the family tie
Now instead of business suits
It was Levi's jeans and Redwing boots and
Dirt under the fingernails
Wash your hands for dinner can't get rid of the smell
Of despair and misery
It's hard falling off the top to discover defeat
Yeah defeat

Oh, dreams of hope
How we hold
Them close
But as time
Goes on by
We gotta keep on pushin'
Just to survive

In 1936, he started walking the beat in the city that never sleeps
Now in 1939
Met a red headed girl he would make his bride
They moved into a Brooklyn flat
It was split level brick with a garden in back
They had one coming on the way
Didn't have a lot of money but a whole lotta faith
Yeah a whole lot of faith

Oh, dreams of hope
How we hold
Them close
But as time
Goes on by
We gotta keep on pushin'
Just to survive
We gotta keep on pushin'
Just to survive
We gotta keep on pushin'
Just to survive
