Really love this song, glad someone has the guts to make a song like this in our current era of political theatre. 

AMERICA
Music & Lyrics: Lee Loughnane © 2014 COM Music ASCAP

AMERICA, AMERICA IS FREE
AMERICA 
AMERICA IS YOU AND ME 

THE DREAM IS FADING BEFORE OUR EYES
TAKE SOME TIME TO REVIVE IT
'WE THE PEOPLE' MUST START RIGHT NOW
DON'T EXPECT OUR LEADERS TO SHOW US HOW
THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT TO DO
IF THEY KNEW HOW TO STOP THE SLIDE
WE'D HAVE SEEN SOME SIGNS BY NOW
TO TURN BACK THE TIDE

WE CAN'T KEEP HAVIN' YOU MAKE OUR RULES
WHEN YOU TREAT US COMMON FOLK LIKE FOOLS
 IT'S TIME WE STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS
PUT CONGRESS IN OUR POLITICAL SIGHTS
MAKE THEM PASS LAWS THAT HELP US ALL
THE FOUNDING FATHERS ECHO 
WILL BE HEARD IN THE HALL
BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, EVERYONE EQUAL
'CAUSE THIS IS

 AMERICA, AMERICA IS FREE
AMERICA
EVERYONE'S FREE
AMERICA, AMERICA IS FREE
AMERICA 
AMERICA IS YOU AND ME
OUR DECLARATION TELLS US 
WE'RE ALL FREE AND EQUAL
NO RELIGION, NO COLOR, JUST PEOPLE
NO ONE BETTER, NO ONE WORSE
EVERYONE COMES FIRST

TIME TO UNITE AS A NATION
GO ALL IN WITH NO HESITATION
LET'S NOT SHY AWAY FROM WHAT'S RIGHT
LET'S NOT SHY AWAY FROM THE FIGHT
IF WE WORK TOGETHER AT A STEADY PACE
WE WILL MAKE THE LAND WE LOVE A BETTER PLACE
A BETTER

GET IT NOW
