Of Thee I Sing

In America we don't have to agree with one another

Are we capable of seeing the other as a brother?

Rural farms vastly different from urban sprawl

Different lifestyles different needs but Americans all

A proud country defending and spreading democracy

Believing all people have a right to live free

A social contract which included basic morality

Suddenly embracing something new and surprising for all to see

Is our country still there

No more rockets red glare

Do love and truth still matter

Or did our values all shatter

Freedom liberty justice democracy

Lies division hate and fallacy

Defending and spreading our way of life

Now hiding and devolved into chaos and strife

When did the melting pot over boil

Foreigners no longer welcome on our soil

Suddenly Mexicans make us recoil

Producing our food they sweat and toil

What are we doing to outsiders

Farm workers and our daycare providers

Not the America we built and know

The world dismayed by what we now show

Is our country still there

No more rockets red glare

Do love and truth still matter

Or did our values all shatter

Do you know what to do

Or have we decided and its all through

Have we abandoned the red white and blue

Surrendering our way to the insane few

As it is America will die

Due to fear and our ability to lie

We still have a chance still need to try

Don't let the opportunity pass you by

Home of the brave and land of the free

The most enduring democracy

Don't wait its up to you and me

We must live up to what we're supposed to be

So many fought and died for our values and ideals

We must unite before our soul he steals

Im not a redneck southerner or from the hood

Let's remember we are one and diversity is good

We may not agree with it all

But we were leaders and proudly stood tall

Don't allow us to take the big fall

Its time to rise and answer the call

To be American is to be different but accepting all

Don't think like the minds of those who think small

Memorialized in the Capital Mall

Remembered in Liberty Hall

And the veterans memorial wall

Let's reclaim America the belle of the ball
