Jackson Browne - For America Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • As if I really didnt understand
  • That I was just another part of their plan
  • I went off looking for the promise
  • Believing in the motherland
  • And from the comfort of a dreamers bed
  • And the safety of my own head
  • I went on speaking of the future
  • While other people fought and bled
  • The kid I was when I first left home
  • Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
  • But the freedom that he found wasnt quite as sweet
  • When the truth was known
  • I have prayed for america
  • I was made for america
  • Its in my blood and in my bones
  • By the dawns early light
  • By all I know is right
  • Were going to reap what we have sown
  • As if freedom was a question of might
  • As if loyalty was black and white
  • You hear people say it all the time-
  • My country wrong or right
  • I want to know what thats got to do
  • With what it takes to find out whats true
  • With everyone from the president on down
  • Trying to keep it from you
  • The thing I wonder about the dads and moms
  • Who send their sons to the vietnams
  • Will they really think their way of life
  • Has been protected as the next war comes?
  • I have prayed for america
  • I was made for america
  • Her shining dream plays in my mind
  • By the rockets red glare
  • A generations blank stare
  • We better wake her up this time
  • The kid I was when I first left home
  • Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
  • But the freedom that he found wasnt quite as sweet
  • When the truth was known
  • I have prayed for america
  • I was made for america
  • I cant let go till she comes around
  • Until the land of the free
  • Is awake and can see
  • And until her conscience has been found
