lyrics

America
by Solvej Schou ©

You've been quiet for way too long
In your home
In your bedroom
With your headphones on
As the world burns red
Blue kills black
America, your white skin
Is gonna crack

A busted tail light
A man, a girl
A woman with her hands
On the steering wheel
As her boyfriend
Soaked in blood, shot by police, dies
America, can you hear her cries?

America, the beautiful
America, the brave
America, give us your huddled masses
We all just want to be free
We all just want to be free

My grandma came here from the ashes of war
No English, no money
Just hope in her heart
Raise your voice if you're the child of an immigrant too
Who built this country on sweat and the blues

America, the beautiful
America, the brave
America, put down your guns
We all just want to be free
We all just want to be free

I've been quiet for way too long
In my home
In my bedroom
With my headphones on
As the world burns red
Blue kills black
America, your hatred
Is gonna crack
