America
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
America, America is free
America
America is you and me
The dream is fading before our eyes
Take some time to revive it
"We the people" must start right now
Don't expect our leaders to show us how
They don't have a clue what to do
If they knew how to stop the slide
We'd have seen some signs by now
To turn back the tide
We can't keep havin' you make our rules
When you treat us common folk like fools
It's time we stand up for our rights
Put Congress in our political sights
Make them pass laws that help us all
The founding fathers echo will be heard in the hall
By the people, for the people, everyone equal
'Cause this is
America, America is free
America
Everyone's free
America, America is free
America
America is you and me
Our declaration tell us we're all free and equal
No religion, no color, just people
No one better, no one worse
Everyone comes first
Time to unite as a nation
Go all in with no hesitation
Let's not shy away from what's right
Let's not shy away from the fight
If we work together at a steady pace
We will make the lane we love a better place
A better
