America Today
I hear someone pleading, give me something to believe in
Someone else cries God show me the way
While another still can't find what he's looking for
Oh, that's America today
Oh, that's America today
Aids takes a young man's strength
Victim of a lifestyle
Homeless die in the street
Unborn children are killed for convenience
Oh, is this the land of the free?
Oh, who are we America today?
Our Founding Fathers, what would they say
The First Amendment used as a platform for hate
Their best intention has been horribly changed
I just pray it's not too late
Oh, who are we America today?
We are all too concerned about our own rights
We can't see that selfishness rules
System's based on selfishness will always die
Just good intentions from fools
Just good intentions from fools
Money and drugs, alcohol and sex
A society held hostage by addiction
We are obsessed with the things that will kill us
Intent on our own extinction
Oh, who are we America today?
The bright light of freedom has faded away
A dark shadow has been cast along the way
In pursuit of pleasure instead of integrity
What does that say of you and me
Oh, who are we America today?
The bright light of freedom has faded away
A dark shadow has been cast along the way
In pursuit of pleasure instead of integrity
What does that say of you and me
Oh, who are we America today?
Who are we America today?
Oh, who are we America today?
Someone else cries God show me the way
While another still can't find what he's looking for
Oh, that's America today
Oh, that's America today
Aids takes a young man's strength
Victim of a lifestyle
Homeless die in the street
Unborn children are killed for convenience
Oh, is this the land of the free?
Oh, who are we America today?
Our Founding Fathers, what would they say
The First Amendment used as a platform for hate
Their best intention has been horribly changed
I just pray it's not too late
Oh, who are we America today?
We are all too concerned about our own rights
We can't see that selfishness rules
System's based on selfishness will always die
Just good intentions from fools
Just good intentions from fools
Money and drugs, alcohol and sex
A society held hostage by addiction
We are obsessed with the things that will kill us
Intent on our own extinction
Oh, who are we America today?
The bright light of freedom has faded away
A dark shadow has been cast along the way
In pursuit of pleasure instead of integrity
What does that say of you and me
Oh, who are we America today?
The bright light of freedom has faded away
A dark shadow has been cast along the way
In pursuit of pleasure instead of integrity
What does that say of you and me
Oh, who are we America today?
Who are we America today?
Oh, who are we America today?
