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!
