OUR AMERICA

©2016 David Moody

I have to laugh

And you will hear my laughter

It saves me from the fear of the aftermath

I have to cry

I feel my eyes start tearing

And I don't want to believe a single thing I'm hearing

My America

She'll never die

She is the very light that enters my eyes

My America

She is my heart

She was my soul from the very start

She was my America

Before the storm warnings we could see the danger

Even as it was forming we could not believe the anger

We can't afford to ignore another cloaked stranger

One single moment longer

Before that completely unlawful regime

The likes of which we've never seen

Before the unfolding of their heinous scheme

We were all so much stronger

She is OUR America

And we'll take her back

Don't even THINK we haven't been keeping track

And we saw them stab her right in the back

Again and again and again

She is OUR America

And we have come to understand

The less they deserve, the more they demand

And we know their attack was so carefully planned

But to the death we'll forever defend

Our America
