Verse 1 Back when a handshake meant you’d stand your ground And a man’s word carried all around Front porch talk as the sun went down Small-town roots ran deep in that soil we found We worked all day, we slept at night We didn’t need much, we were doin’ alright Stars and stripes in the morning light And we held on strong to what we knew was right Chorus Oh America, where did we go wrong We used to stand united, used to stand so strong From truth and faith to right and wrong Now it feels like we don’t belong From red, white, blue to divided ends Tell me how it breaks like this, my friend Oh America… from beginning to end Verse 2 Mama taught us how to pray out loud Daddy stood tall and he made us proud We didn’t follow every passing crowd We knew who we were, didn’t have to shout Now truth gets lost in a screen’s bright glow And nobody listens, just talkin’ slow Everybody’s got a place to show But nobody really seems to know Chorus Oh America, where did we go wrong We used to stand united, used to stand so strong From truth and faith to right and wrong Now it feels like we don’t belong From red, white, blue to divided ends Tell me how it breaks like this, my friend Oh America… from beginning to end Bridge Yeah the lines got blurred and the truth got thin We traded backbone just to try to fit in But there’s still a fire buried deep within If we stand back up, we could start again Final Chorus (stronger) Oh America, we ain’t too far gone We can still rebuild what we stood upon Bring back truth and carry on Like the roots we came from all along From red, white, blue we can rise again Put the pieces back where they’ve always been Oh America… it ain’t the end Outro No… it ain’t the end If we could just all remember where we’ve been come on America, Just Stand up Again.
