Analysis of American Voice
Though common our ground
Our American dreams
Now our bond's being test
By political schemes
Lies are their weapons
Keep people in need
They press and molest us
Feeding their greed
Lay waste to democracy
What was once great
Smothering unity
Nurturing hate
It's by their design
Adding wealth by divide
All while calling the shots
With the hope we abide
But the times they will change
As the people unite
We will stand hand in hand
And together we'll fight
Our country, our land
Our vote, and our choice
No one can obstruct
Our American Voice!
