For America Lyrics |
||
 As if I really didn`t understandThat I was just another part of their plan I went off looking for the promise Believing in the Motherland And from the comfort of a dreamer`s bed And the safety of my own head I went on speaking of the future While other people fought and bled The kid I was when I first left home Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own But the freedom that he found wasn`t quite as sweet When the truth was known I have prayed for America I was made for America It`s in my blood and in my bones By the dawn`s early light By all I know is right We`re going to reap what we have sown As if freedom was a question of might As if loyalty was black and white You hear people say it all the time- "My country wrong or right" I want to know what that`s got to do With what it takes to find out what`s true With everyone from the President on down Trying to keep it from you The thing I wonder about the Dads and Moms Who send their sons to the Vietnams Will they really think their way of life Has been protected as the next war comes? I have prayed for America I was made for America Her shining dream plays in my mind By the rockets red glare A generation`s blank stare We better wake her up this time The kid I was when I first left home Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own But the freedom that he found wasn`t quite as sweet When the truth was known I have prayed for America I was made for America I can`t let go till she comes around Until the land of the free Is awake and can see And until her conscience has been found |
