Lord I wish that love could conquer all
And I wish that our brave soldiers
Would never fall
And why can't all our people get along
Opinions are okay
But all this fighting seems so wrong
Lord, let me touch their hearts
America, hear the words in all my songs

(Chorus)
We're God's children in this country of
		the free
Why can't people see the blessings
		meant to be
Lord, I've seen this land from sea to
		shining sea
If you grant me just one wish
Grant us peace for all to see
Oh hear the words within my songs
Lord, help America get along

(Musical Break)
(Modulate To E)

Oh that Lady in the harbor watches all
And every time someone is killed
Her tears will fall
"In God We Trust" America stood tall
Lord, please help me make them see
That we're about to lose it all
Send us a miracle to fix these wrongs
America, hear the words in all my songs

(Chorus)
We're God's children in this country of
		the free
Why can't people see the blessings
		meant to be
Lord, I've seen this land from sea to
		shining sea
If you grant me just one wish
Grant us peace for all to see
Oh hear the words within my songs
Lord, help America get along

(Musical Break)

(Chorus)
We're God's children in this country of
		the free
Why can't people see the blessings
		meant to be
Lord, I've seen this land from sea to
		shining sea
If you grant me just one wish
Grant us peace for all to see
Oh hear the words within my songs
Lord, help America get along
