Crowds of Americans all over the country join each other at multiple protests across the country.
Where is the America, the merciful, the beautiful
Where is the America that the place where I grew
Founded on the principals of equality and decency
Founded on the principals of that now aren’t always true
The beacon of light
For the world shining bright
Now it’s gone – where’d we go wrong?
We used to be the compass for a world full of need
No problem could stump us when America took the lead
From human rights and fairness
To environmental awareness
This was our way – let’s reclaim it today!
We’re not brave when we’re afraid
Nor free when we’re astray
Let’s reclaim the American way!
There’s no problem we can’t solve
All it takes is the resolve
Let’s reclaim the American way!
We were built by immigrants welcomed to our shore
Gained strength with diversity, each adding a little more
But now we turn away
Those that made us this way
Roll back the hate – America cannot wait!
Our eyes are blinded when fear is at the core
Terror pandering and mongering with perpetual war
We demonize our foes
To legitimize our pose
But it’s wrong – this can’t go on!
We’re strong when we’re one heart
But weak when split apart
Let’s reclaim the American way!
All it takes is to decide
All America’s on one side
Let’s reclaim the American way!
Politically we’re fractured, cynically divided in two
Into red states and blue states, ‘stead of the red white and blue
The talking heads propel us
Their talking points compel us
To despise their side – let’s all compromise!
The founding fathers taught us that this land is for us all
United we stand, divided we fall
Life and liberty
And the freedom to be free
The home of the brave – let’s reclaim it today!
We’re not brave when we’re afraid
Nor free when we’re astray
Let’s reclaim the American way!
There’s no problem we can’t solve
All it takes is the resolve
Let’s reclaim the American way!
We’re strong when we’re one heart
But weak when split apart
Let’s reclaim the American way!
All it takes is to decide
All America’s on one side
Let’s reclaim the American way!
