What it is
"American Dream" was written by Casting Crowns lead vocalist Mark Hall and appears on the band's self-titled debut album. It addresses fathers so caught up in career pursuits that they neglect their families, urging them to spend more time at home. Hall said it grew out of his years in student ministry with young people who struggled with their fathers.
