America, America written by Thomas Long / Mike Bryant ( BMI # 50697764 ) (key of E) (Chorus) America, America Why can't your people see That the things they're doing here today Is destroying liberty Oh America, America You stood so proud and strong But now you face distruction Oh tell me Where did we go wrong There's trouble in our country And people just can't get along It seems they're tearing down our history There's so many reasons why that's wrong Because our past is a reminder Of the mistakes this country's made If history --- is erased from time How will the people change their ways (Chorus) America, America Why can't your people see That the things they're doing here today Is destroying liberty Oh America, America You stood so proud and strong But now you face distruction Oh tell me Where did we go wrong (Musical Turnaround) The statues built to honor Great men and women of our past Is to celebrate great things they've done Yet they're torn down to erase the past More than two hundred years Men have fought and died To make this nation great and strong Now what her peoples --- doing to this land Makes God sad cause it's so wrong (Chorus) America, America Why can't your people see That the things they're doing here today Is destroying liberty Oh America, America You stood so proud and strong But now you face distruction Oh tell me Where did we go wrong Oh tell me Where did we go wrong
