My America dear lord is not sinking it’s rising,
Be witness lord, you’ll find my nation surprising,
Forgive their sins, fill their hearts with joy and wisdom,
O Lord, you never have enough for them, your own kingdom,
I have, but nothing, but the music I translate for them,
If it is an American coming to hell, yes lord, I take their blame,
Burn down my soul, but see around, you do have better sight,
Have mercy on America lord, America is not just all white.
