America Where Are You

What happened to the In God We Trust

And the plea I Have A Dream

What happened to our Norman Rockwells

And our unique American scenes

What happened to the helping hands reaching

To lift others above

Where are the acts of kindness

Randomly done with love

What happened to red, white and blue

And bounty from the mountains to the sea

Thank God there’s still America

Inside both you and me

Where are those who share folks happiness

And stand with them through pain

Where are those who give their all

Not for monetary gain

Where are those who really live with love

After church is through

How bout if we start all over

Beginning with me and you

Great movements start with an idea given love

And put to motion

What happened to America

Land of the free ocean to ocean

What happened to reach out your hand

To those along the way

What happened to real honesty

With the leaders of today

What happened to the dreams we had

United through and through

Thanks God there’s still America

Inside both me and you

Where is of the people for the people

Loving rave and free

Thank God there’s still America

Inside both me and you

What happened to God shed His love

From sea to shining sea

Thank God there’s still some America

Inside both you and me
