Oh America
Thinkin' back on the place where I grew up
It had a lot less pain
It had a lot less hate
It had a lot more love
But that's not the way it was for everyone
And I see that now
And I think somehow
We should find a better way
In America
We've been waitin' on a sunset that never came
Our screens are feeding us lies
The lies are feeding divides
Our minds are goin' insane
We're all just tryin' to believe in something meaningful
But as it stands right now
I'd say we failed the test
What have we become America
I don't know where we are
But I know right where we've been
We're out here searchin' for truth
We're out here searchin' for sanity again
And I know
And I know
That it's still worth fighting for
And the winds of change
Are bound to blow again
Love is what we need America
What have we done
Where are we now
Where do we go from here
Oh America
What have we become America
It had a lot less pain
It had a lot less hate
It had a lot more love
But that's not the way it was for everyone
And I see that now
And I think somehow
We should find a better way
In America
We've been waitin' on a sunset that never came
Our screens are feeding us lies
The lies are feeding divides
Our minds are goin' insane
We're all just tryin' to believe in something meaningful
But as it stands right now
I'd say we failed the test
What have we become America
I don't know where we are
But I know right where we've been
We're out here searchin' for truth
We're out here searchin' for sanity again
And I know
And I know
That it's still worth fighting for
And the winds of change
Are bound to blow again
Love is what we need America
What have we done
Where are we now
Where do we go from here
Oh America
What have we become America
