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.
This is not America
Sha la la la la
A little piece of you
The little piece in me will die
(This is not a miracle)
For this is not America
Blossom fails to bloom this season
Promise not to stare too long
(This is not America)
For this is not the miracle
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not America
Sha la la la la......
This is not America
Log on to kill this message.
No, this is not
Sha la la la la
Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals to the ground
(This could be the biggest sky)
So bloody red, tomorrow`s clouds
A little piece of you
A little piece in me will die
(This is not a miracle)
For this is not America
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
For this is not America
Sha la la la la.....
This is not America
No, this is not, sha la la la
This is not America, no, this is not
This is not America, no, this is not
Sha la la la
