Song 14 -- The Hands That Built America

This song was written in 2001 by U2. This song discusses America's events. U2 is an Irish rock band, so not surprisingly, the song starts with the Irish famine and the migration from Ireland to America. This song highlights many events that made America what it is today, including September 11, 2001. The hands that built America refers to all the hard workers and the events that builds up to what America is now. I like this song, I like U2 in general. They're a great band, and they have wonderful messages behind all their songs. They play music for a purpose, and that is very clear in all their songs. This song tells about how all sorts of different people and events come together and build up to build a nation.
