[Intro]
[acoustic guitar strumming, clean electric guitar lead melody, soaring three-part harmony] Strong harmony on Intro

[Chorus]
[male lead vocals, gospel-style backing vocals, powerful layered harmony]
Oh America, I still believe in you
[drums and bass enter]

[Verse 1]
[acoustic guitar, light percussion]
Well sometimes it's hard for people to believe
Like does Santa really come on Christmas Eve?
There's things of faith we've all forgot
Like Jesus is the son of God
Who died so that the whole world can believe
But it's not too late to find that path again
That leads back in time when faith defeated sin
When America was founded on the words "In God We Trust"
I truly feel it's not too late for us

[Chorus]
[full band, driving rhythm, uplifting harmony]
Oh America, I still believe in you
I still believe Old Glory waves of freedom through and through
Please don't let our nation fall
If things don't change we'll lose it all
America, I still believe in you

[Instrumental Break]
[electric guitar solo with bluesy bends and double-stops]

[Verse 2]
[bass and drums continue, acoustic guitar rhythm]
Yes I look around and see what's going on
The things that people do that seem so wrong
Why can't we go back in time reclaim the things we need to find
Before love and faith and kindness are all gone

[Chorus]
[layered backing vocals, soaring harmony]
Oh America, I still believe in you
I still believe Old Glory waves of freedom through and through
Please don't let our nation fall
If things don't change we'll lose it all
America, I still believe in you

[Guitar Solo]
[distorted electric guitar lead, high energy]

[Chorus]
[big final chorus, strong inspirational harmony]
Oh America, I still believe in you
I still believe Old Glory waves of freedom through and through
Please don't let our nation fall
If things don't change we'll lose it all
America, I still believe in you

[Outro]
[acoustic guitar and electric lead melody fade, harmony sustained]
Please don't let our nation fall
If things don't change we'll lose it all
America, I still believe in you
