Tired of hearing the same things
Every single day
What am I, but a man who sings?
Could I show you the way?
All this hatred around us, doesn't have to be
When is enough too much?
To awaken from sleep?
Wake up America
Oh say, can you see?
Wake up America
By the dawn's early light
Think we're due for a good change
Why not give it some thought?
Doesn't matter if you pray, while folks still get shot
Had to sing you a sad song
Not much more, I can bear
Can't standby letting this go on
Never ending nightmare
Wake up America
Oh say, can you see?
Wake up America
By the dawn's early light
How many more mass shootings 'til things change?
Rather sad how these things don't seem strange
You and I both know why
No point wasting time
Think of things we would find
If we worked together
