(What's Become Of) America

In the early morning light
The black gold burns
Blotting out the sky
Will America ever learn
A mother cries for her son
He lays at her feet
This senseless killing it must cease
To ever stand for peace

What’s become of America
The land that I love
With a little more of her freedom gone
We’ll be laying in the dust
She wears the chains of hypocrisy
And cries out to you and me
What’s become of America
The land of liberty

It’s time to look inside and see
Just what we have become
A mockery of liberty
Justice and freedom
This truth it stands alone
For all the world to see
The time has come to set her free
It’s up to you and me

What’s become of America
The land that I love
With a little more of her freedom gone
We’ll be laying in the dust
She wears the chains of hypocrisy
And cries out to you and me
What’s become of America
The land of the free
What’s become of America
The land of liberty

America
