Browne Jackson - For America Lyrics

Send "For America" ringtone to your cell

As if i really didn't understand

That i was just another part of thir plan

I went off looking for the promise

Believing in the motherland

And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed

And the safety of my own head

I went out speaking of the future

While other people fought and bled

The kid i was when i first left home

Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own

But the freedom that found wasn't quite as sweet

When the truth was known

I have prayed for america

I was made for america

It's in my blood and in my bones

By the dawn's early light

By all i know is right

We're going to reap what we have sown

As if freedom was a question of might

As if loyalty was black and white

You hear people say all the time--

"my country wrong or right"

I want to know what that't got to do

With what it takes to find out what's true

With everyone from the president on down

Trying to keep it from you

The thing i wonder about the dads and moms

Who send their sons to the vietnams

Will they really think their way of life

Has been protected as the next war comes?

I have prayed for america

I was made for america

Her shining dream plays in my mind

By the rockets' red glare

A generation's blank stare

We better wake her up this time

The kid i was when i first left home

Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own

But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet

When the truth was known

I have prayed for america

I was made for america

I can't let go till she comes around

Until the land of the free

Is awake and can see

Until her conscience has been found
