Girl America

    My girl America is just a youth in this world
    Her smile is more precious than the sparkle of pearls
    And though her age reads she's just a young girl
    The age behind her eyes show the pain that she's swirled
    Through the hand that's been dealt though it's quiet as kept
    The weight that she felt last night when she slept
    And as she crept into the dreams of the things of her past
    Seems to have grown so fast, way beyond her own class
    Though they're right there with her, her brothers and her sisters
    A natural born leader even when her peers dis her
    My girl, she's at a crossroads, people praying for her
    Some are preying on her magazine ads, ***, drama
    Smoking *********, longer for a father to call her, 'daughter'
    She's part of a generation longing for reconciliation
    And this future that they're facing and this poison that they're tasting
    My girl, I know this love you're chasing
    My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night
    I can see that she's screaming when she's dreaming for her freedom
    My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight
    Don't stop believing, my girl America
    Boys with hungry eyes have been beating her door
    Telling her that's what she's for, trying to rob at her core
    Then leave calling her a whore, but still she knows there's more
    I know she knows there's more because there is a voice she can't ignore
    'Cause it was founded in the foundations, from the day of her creation
    In God we trust engraved on the treasures of her nation
    And the void that the boys can't fill
    With the tipping of the bottle or the popping of the pill
    But still most of her friends don't care as they glare
    Ready to drown down the funnel as they frown down the tunnel
    They stumble and they tumble breaking down into rubble
    My girl America, stop can't you see
    It's not the circumstances that determine who you're gonna be
    But how you deal with these problems and pains that come your way
    It's for you that I pray with hope for a brighter day
    And so I say, your deliverance is coming
    [chorus]Faith like a child from your first birth
    You left it in the dirt on your worst hurt
    And I see each tear and every scar
    The hands that have held you where you are
    And I can see we've strayed so far
    A king born under that morning star
    As a crown of thorns was placed to earase
    Each tear that's touched your face
    And his palms and sides were pierced with spears
    He hung in love just to draw you near
    My girl, out of this whole world
    Can't you see this is where we started?
