Dear America - Raef

Dear America

My hand’s on my heart

And I knew from the start there’s pain

Dear America

Can we still be

The land of the free and brave?

Whatever happened

To the American Dream?

When will we wake up

And realize we’re not all free?

Why have we grown apart

If we can mend our broken hearts?

Why are we so unjust

If we say In God we trust?

How many heroes will fall

Until there’s no one left at all?

Why can’t we learn our past?

So we can be at peace at last

Dear America…

Dear America

My love is the truth

And I’m pushing you through to change

Dear America

Will we just ignore

The war on the poor and shame?

What ever happened

To when our kids could be free?

Safe in their own space

And not afraid to learn and be

Why have we grown apart

If we can mend our broken hearts?

Why are we so unjust

If we say In God we trust?

How many heroes will fall

Until there’s no one left at all?

Why can’t we learn our past?

So we can be at peace at last

Dear America…

And for us to be

Truly great again we’ll need

To show mercy and love for all humanity!

Dear America

My hand’s on my heart

And I knew from the start there’s pain

Dear America

Can we still be

The land of the free and brave?

Why have we grown apart

If we can mend our broken hearts?

Why are we so unjust

If we say In God we trust?

How many heroes will fall

Until there’s no one left at all?

Why can’t we learn our past?

So we can be at peace at last

Dear America…
