America the Beautiful?
Unconditional dedication to offer life liberty and the pursuit of happiness
Personally at risk for the sake of the many
No longer living a life of freedom and bliss
Constantly at arms keeping a hand steady
Who will be the next to go with no panic
Who will jump out to save a comrade
No the ones sitting at home
Just taking everything for granted
Perhaps those who suffer the most
Are the little footprints on the beach and stone
Looking out to the horizon
Wondering when Daddy will come home
And the growing bump on the woman
Who worriedly waits patiently
For the man who gave it all up
His loving country’s liberty
Or is it a loving country?
Are we what we once were?
Back to when standing for freedom
Was was America’s aim tirelessly
Back when people earned what they received
The American Dream wasn’t waiting on a silver platter
Now people will cut corners to deceive
When the flag is raised, people will scatter
We would sing America the Beautiful at the top of our lungs
Praising what God gave to the people
Now it’s a song that is no longer sung
With pride and joy and devotion and grace
Afraid of offending someone
With what our country was founded upon
Weighs down opportunities to embetter
The beautiful nation that once was.
