The New American Way
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.
Each day when I wake up and I set my best foot forward
I'll make an effort to be all that I can be
I take a look around me and I wonder
How things change so much in the few short years since I was a young boy
Do you know what we're fighting for?
I know in an instant I could lose everything I'm working toward
I know I'll win my battles
Though I fear we'll lose the war
To the new American way
I know I'll win my battles
Though I fear we'll lose the war
To the new American way
The morals of this nation's youth have long gone astray
Lead by tolerance, indifference, and this kinder gentler way
That has corrupted and destroyed so many of our boys and girls
Oh Lord I start to wonder will it ever come around?
Do you know what we're fighting for?
I know in an instant I could lose everything I'm working toward
I know I'll win my battles
Though I fear we'll lose the war
To the new American way
I know I'll win my battles
Though I fear we'll lose the war
To the new American way
