    TO AMERICA WITH LOVE

    Well
    I can't call you Master
    If I refuse 2 be a slave
    Seems freedom must be earned
    In this Land of the Brave
    So I dedicate this 2 all who gave
    2 remind us the love we make
    Is the Country we save

    My Country, tis of thee
    Sweet land of hypocrisy
    Of thee I cringe
    A syringe
    Washing upon once pristine shores
    Medical clinics closing their doors
    On the poor
    We the people stand in unison
    And implore
    NO MORE, NO MORE!

    My Native Country?
    No!
    Tis the land of the Pawnee, Blackfoot, Cherokee and Navaho
    From Death Valley 2 Montana snow
    Let freedom grow
    I love thy potential
    Yet it seems
    You have neglected the Dream
    Of children black and white
    At peace tonight

    Let music swell the breeze
    Yet we shan't ignore images
    Of Black Fruit swaying in Southern Trees
    Nor the interrment of the Japanese
    Our silence breaks
    Thy will is strong
    America
    Must we prolong
    The songs
    Of Liberty
    Mercy mercy me
    Things ain't like they usta 2 be
    Ohhh No!

    2 Our Father God I plead
    Let not one more
    Poor single mother bleed
    After a botched abortion
    So many groups dedicated 2 saving
    Whales and pets
    Yet somehow we chose 2 forget
    The image we project
    2 our brothers and sisters in need
    America
    On my knees I plead
    Begging with tears please
    Allow our children's Dreams 2 remain
    As bright and enduring as
    John F. Kennedy's Enduring Flame

    America ,
    I only desire 4 you 2 love us
    As we, the people
    Love You
