Looking For America

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Land of the free, home of the braveBut Lord knows that we need plenty change'Cause plenty chains in the past leaving deep scarsBut when the sun come down we gonna be starsThe doors are locked where they once stood openA wound of fear where we once stood hopingThe shattered glass where the bullets broke inI'm looking for the place that I was bornI'm looking for a way to fix what's tornI'm looking for AmericaI'm looking for AmericaYeah, you knowBeaten red white and blue for the green we pursueI'm still looking for youAmerica who are you?Underneath the red blue and white?America who are you?I wonder who you are tonightAmerica who are you?Is God still on your side?I want to see a nation rise above the fearAnd fight that haunts these streets tonightI'm looking for AmericaI'm looking for a place to breathe inA place I could call my homeI'm looking for AmericaI'm looking for the land of freedomA place I can call my ownI'm looking for AmericaHeadlines that I can't believe inBut I'm still holding on to hopeI'm looking for a miracleI'm looking for a miracleI'm looking for AmericaAmerica who are you?I asking for too muchAmerica who are you?Has your dream become out of touchAmerica who are you?Do you get what you deserveBetween the violence and entitlementsWhich nation do you serve?I'm looking for AmericaI'm singingFarewell my utopiaFarewell my euphoriaFare thee well my suburban day-dreamFarewell my utopiaAmerica you so prettyBut you not perfectConfession of guilt is worth itThese people hurting deserve itBlood on your hands I sawWhen there's blood on this nations floorBut it's blood on the upper post of your doorIf you need to knowI'm looking for your honesty in skeletonsDo away with your ignorance and arroganceAmerica the land of immigrantsCheck the green card and pedigreeBless the Choctaw and the CherokeeThat we'll never seeI'm looking for AmericaThe land of the free, home of the braveBut Lord knows we need plenty changeI'm looking for AmericaPlenty chains in the past left deep scarsBut when the sun come down we gonna be starsAnd may the stripes heal when it's throughBeaten red white blue for the green that we pursueI'm looking for America
