i miss america (5:16)

 

There once was a land where a lady would stand

With her lamp raised at the golden door

Saying, “bring me your huddled masses, tired and poor”

Now that welcome don’t seem so welcome any more

O—I miss America.

 

There once was a place where the whole human race

Could yearn to breathe free—haven of liberty—

Land of the brave, home of the free

Today the fearful forfeit freedom for a lock and key

O—I miss America.

 

O say, can you see me, I’m your neighbor

Like you I struggle and labor

I pull my own weight and do my share

And believe, yes I dare

That though we may differ

Together we are stronger than apart

E pluribus unum

O­—we are America.

 

There once was a time where speaking your mind

Was a sign that you stood up like a grown man

And the strong one protected the weak one

Now the self-righteous belittle the meek one

O—I miss America.

 

Oh what do you do when the red, white and blue

Become a cloak to hide dirty laundry

And a muffle to choke those who disagree

And the emblem no longer serves to set us free?

O—I miss America.

 

Have you ever heard of a high-flying bird

Who can soar the sky with one wing missing?

 

Today I stand in my native land

Turn off the TV and I step out my door

To neighbor and stranger I offer my hand

Saying, “this land it is your land…This land it is my land”

E pluribus unum

O­—we are America.

O­—we are America.
