you see with jaundiced eyes.
You've finally lost the visions,
and learned to live the lies.
You've forgotten all your children
who lie sleeping in the street,
and send to bed your babies with
bitterness to eat.
America, Amercia,
How can you be so blind?
You've forgotten those who fought for you
and our brothers we left behind.
God Bless You, Miss Liberty,
my tears have stained your dress.
What was it I was fighting for?
I've grown old just trying to guess.
Reach out to those who need you now;
lift the film that clouds your sight.
Raise high your Torch of Liberty, lest
we plunge full into the night!!
"America, America, God shed His Grace on Thee"
