Come on America, Shine! Lyrics

Come on America, let's open our eyes

And not be fooled by slogans and lies

We argue like puppets with someone pulling our strings

Closing our minds as history sings

Listen America, it's our choice you know

The dreams we reach for and what we let go

As we stand here now, we again must decide

I pray our better angels dance by our side

Come on, America, shine

Live up to the promise that's yours and mine

Shine as a beacon for the human race

And bring all the people to a higher place

Come on America, our moment is now

To reclaim the dreams of our forefather's vows

We the people, must answer the call

To make our union more perfect for all

Come on, America, shine

Live up to the promise that's yours and mine

Shine as a beacon for the human race

And bring all the people to a higher place

For a nation is only as strong as it's wise

And a people are only as free as the price

But the forces that divide us

As we stumble to grow

Will either deepen or destroy

Our American soul

Come on, America, shine

Live up to the promise that's yours and mine

Shine as a beacon for the human race

And bring all the people to a higher place

Bring all the people to a higher place

Bring all the people to a higher place
