I see the shadows stretching across the land Divided lines drawn in the shifting sand But when I look up at that heavy sky I see the same stars reflecting in every eye We’ve been walking a road that’s been weary and long But there’s a rhythm calling us back to the song Of a house that’s built on a foundation so deep With promises that we were meant to keep. So why can’t we stand, heart to heart? Heal the pieces that were torn apart Under one God, with one decree Of life and love and liberty Built on the faith that makes us strong Protecting the family where we belong Oh, America, it’s time to see In shared values, we find the key To being the people we’re called to be. From the mountain peaks to the valley floor It’s time to open up a brand new door Honor thy neighbor, cherish the home No matter how far we’ve decided to roam There’s a common thread in the work of our hands A hope that’s rising across these plains and lands It’s the simple truth of the golden rule The light of the spirit, our guiding jewel. He said a house divided cannot stand (Cannot stand!) We need a healing hand across this land (Across this land!) Let the walls come down! Let the peace be found! In the grace of God, let the joy abound! Life! (Life!) Liberty! (Liberty!) For you and me! Why can’t we stand, heart to heart? Heal the pieces that were torn apart Under one God, with one decree Of life and love and liberty Built on the faith that makes us strong Protecting the family where we belong Oh, America, it’s time to see In shared values, we find the key To being the people we’re called to be. Coming together... (One nation) Under His shadow... (One heart) Life and Liberty... (Shared values) Holding onto the family... Reaching for the light... Under God, we unite.
