oh America

In a land once proud, shadows cast their gloom, whispers of decline, our nations fade in bloom

One, two, nine, now the economy's dead, yearning for a future asleep in our hands, industries crumble, and cities decay

Echoes of the past slowly fade away, in the heartland silence dreams are set adrift, as the spirited winds of somber soul shift

Oh, America, land of the free, what's become of thee in this old decree? From sea to shining sea, a tale unclosed

The end of terror unfolds, of a nation's journey in the starlit haze

Leadership falters, trust beings afraid, so tomorrow has darkened days

Bridge burning in a year replaced by strife, a sympathy troubles defining its life

This is the fading twilight, hope tries to survive, yet in a struggle, someone with a will to strive

But let us not forget, resilience will find, in the heart of the people's strength and time

Oh, America, let redemption reign, in the face of this challenging strain
