Lyrics: I Am America

Pay no attention to the people in the street,
Crying out for accountability.
Make a joke of what we believe;
Say we don’t matter ‘cuz you disagree.
Pretend you’re kings, sit on your throne;
Look down your nose at the peasants below.

I’ve got some news: We’re taking names –
We’re waiting now for the judgment day.

I am America:
One voice, United we stand.
I am America:
One hope to heal our land;
There is still work that must be done.
I will not rest until we’ve won.
I am America.

You preach your tolerance but lecture me.
Is there no_ end to your own hypocrisy?
Your god is power; you have no shame;
Your only interest is political gain.

You hide your eyes and refuse to listen;
You play your games and abuse the system.
You stuff your pockets while Rome is burning –
I’ve got a feeling that the tide is turning.

I am America:
One voice, United we stand.
I am America:
One hope to heal our land.
I will not give up on this fight.
I will not fade into the night.
I am America.

You stuff your pockets while Rome is burning –
I’ve got a feeling that the tide is turning.

I am America:
One voice, United we stand.
I am America:
One hope to heal our land.

I am America:
One voice, United we stand.
I am America:
One hope to heal our land.
I will not give up on this fight.
I will not fade into the night.
I am America.

2 Chronicles 7:14 (King James Version)

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
