Johnsmith - My Name is America lyrics

Artist: Johnsmith

album: Backroads


My name is America
I live between two oceans blue
And as nations go I'm a child who
Is sadly now, torn in two
I was born out of a dream
And for that dream I'm on my knees tonight
For there's shouting on the left and right
I could use some help to mend this great divide
Oh, help me heal
These wounds I feel
Please help me heal
From these wounds I feel
It's not the first time I've been torn
The bloody redcoats shot and drove the natives from their homes
Then the flood of immigrants all came 'round
In hopes of 40 acres, a mule, and plow
And the right to speak their truth out loud
Then it was the Blue and Gray
The North and South spilling blood over slavery
Leaving a scar centuries deep
Now they're still marchin' up and down my streets.
My name is America
I am wounded but I'm not down yet
I am still the Great Experiment
I was born from hope, and tears, and sweat
And I'll hold to that hope with every breath
My name is America
