America the Turbulent

Divided now, by choices made
With fear left in their wake.
How do we mend this fracturing?
Our common good’s at stake.

CHORUS:
America, America
Don’t let injustice win
Unite, and fight
for human rights,
Together, let’s begin

Our cities and our countryside
Have lost the common thread.
We demonize each other now
And tough times are ahead

CHORUS

We thought we knew our character
Our fundamental good
But bigotry is blossoming
Have we misunderstood?

CHORUS

Regardless of the way we pray,
The land from which we’ve come,
Our color or the love we choose,
America’s our home

CHORUS
