AMERICA
Your flag stands tall
You have everyone in aweAMERICA
Let's sit down & chat
Please stop acting like a bratAMERICA
How is it the land of the home & brave
When each year their are more gravesAMERICA
How is it the land of the free
But yet humans are seen as a feeAMERICA
Tell me now are you happy
That your morals are overruled by logic
And that we seem to be apart of your projectAMERICA
What do you expect to gain?
Having our children live in fear
When the madman puts on his gear
And the protectors aren't even nearAMERICA
Does "I can't breathe" sound familiar
Or maybe it's just a little easier
To turn your cheek
Avoid the conflict you say
But I mean your the one in the cockpitAMERICA
All eyes on you
What's your next move?
Silent now are we?AMERICA
Is your mouth shut as well?
Just as the humans that you secretly sellAMERICA
"Strike 3," you say
When the truth is spoken
But how would you know?AMERICA
Don't you get tired of lying
Your messiness has a girl crying
And babies dyingAMERICA
It's not rocket science
To show compassion
To see immigrants as people
Instead of waiting to when their legal
And even still your colors show
Not the red, white, and blue
But the real youAMERICA
Your time is late
To mend past mistakes
But never too late
To admit we need a new takeAMERICA
You see these new generations
Who speak out more boldly
More loudlyAMERICA
I still believe their is hope because of them
It's time to break the stem
Of hate & prejudice
And rethink our methodsAMERICA
They pave the way for breakthrough
Even if you do not see them move
For everything starts small
Before it stands tallAMERICA
Let's learn to be kind
Learn to be one mind
....For Liberty
And Justice For All
