America the What?
We sing America the Great
but really, how great is America right now?
We say we stand together
but why do we fight and argue as often as we do?
We fight for change
yet when things change we rebel against them.
If racism is truly coming to an end
then why are we building walls to keep people out?
No, not just Trump's wall.
Walls in school, walls around houses, walls around neighborhoods, walls around our eyes, walls around our brains and walls around our hearts.
We say that we don't see others differently
but here we are picking out people's weaknesses day in and day out.
No one likes lies
So it's time to stop singing them out and start living truth.
Let's make our hope and dreams reality
so we can sing words that are true.
Home of the brave and land of the free.
