Another Day in America

Another day in America
My land, my home
Freedom rings
Why feel so alone.

Liberty won, freedoms gained
People lie beneath the sod
Their blood on the land
For which we stand.

Future in doubt
Chaos all about
“Deliver us from ourselves”
Is what I want to shout.

The hungry and the children
The aliens without a roof
Hovering in the cold
While we stand aloof.

Shouts from the mountaintops
Some hanging from the crane
Marches of millions
Words actions and change.

Why feel hope
A good question there.
People stand in solidarity
Because we care.

Hope for our children
Justice for the poor
Healthcare for women
Our future at our door.

God on His throne
Heaven a long way from here
The Kingdom is at hand
There is no need to fear.
