[Verse 1] I would gladly give anything to anyone, reach out a helping hand. I was raised to leave something for everyone, that’s just the way I stand. But what has happened to most of us, do we no longer really care? So many faces passing by each day, like we were never there. [Pre-Chorus] What is the purpose of a life if your heart’s locked up and scarred? You can still try to make a difference, even when it feels so hard. We can barely remember what it felt like before, when this hope in our hearts was a promise we swore. [Chorus] We the people still have a voice, we are stronger when we choose. If we look past all the noise, there is so much we could lose. America is hurting ‘cause we’ve been torn apart, but I still believe this land can heal with love in every heart. The land we used to live and love for can still be reunited, if we hold each other closer and keep our hope ignited. [Verse 2] Children being born into storms of destruction, trying just to find a light. Every one of us is making choices that shape another night. People living in the streets, with barely anything to eat. All the veterans who bled for us, now forgotten on our streets. [Pre-Chorus] We can’t keep on drawing lines, chasing selfish little gains. If we have hope for this America, we must help the ones in chains. The flag once waved a promise of freedom for you and me, now it hangs a little heavier for what we’ve failed to be. [Chorus] We the people still have a voice, we are stronger when we choose. If we look past all the noise, there is so much we could lose. America is hurting ‘cause we’ve been torn apart, but I still believe this land can heal with love in every heart. The land we used to live and love for can still be reunited, if we hold each other closer and keep our hope ignited. [Bridge] We need back our humanity, we need kindness in our youth. Instead of stealing, instead of hate, let’s stand up for the truth. If we don’t change the world around us, what will our children find? Will this story end too early, will we leave them all behind? Americans and all our history, could be lost along the way, if we let the darkness swallow all the love we had today. [Chorus] America used to be the land of the free, now we’re asking who we are. But united we can turn it ‘round and reach for every star. We can still stop all this madness, we can still rewrite this scene, take back the heart of this great land, make it what it’s meant to be. The land of hope, the land of mercy, where every soul can dream, The America that held us close, the land of the truly free. [Outro] So let’s stop this empty anger, let love be what we believe. Stand together for our neighbor, for our rights and liberty. Hand in hand we’ll find our courage, from the mountains to the sea, and lift this broken, wounded land back to the land of the free.
