[Verse 1]
To heartbroken melodies
I made it to italy
Went back to my hopes and dreams and buried my home
Five years in captivity
But kept all my dignity
On my way to humanity
I carried my bones

[Chorus]
Waited a long time to give myself to you
Waited a long time to give myself to you
Somewhere in America
America
When each day's new

[Verse 2]
I left an emergency
I gave up on therapy
Way back in the seventies
I buried my home

We crossed the forgotten sea
And made it to Italy
Through burdens and jealousy
I carried my bones

[Chorus]
Waited a long time to give myself to you
Waited a long time to give myself to you
Somewhere in America
America
When each day's new
