[Intro]
Seems like a distant dream, a story torn at the seams
A land of promise, now unraveling at the beams
[Verse 1]
Once we had a vision, a home within our reach
Now we’re just surviving, each day’s a lesson in defeat
Groceries and taxes, a weight too hard to bear
Still we chase that dream, hoping someone’s really there
[Pre-Chorus]
The politicians grab, their hands deep in our pockets
Promises are broken, the system’s lost its honest locks
[Chorus]
Oh, America, we’re running on fumes and broken wheels
Dear God, help us heal, mend the wound that time reveals
We’re giving all we’ve got, but the future’s looking grim
America, can we rise again from within?
[Bridge]
Uncle Sam’s in our pockets, searching for his cut
We’re holding on to hope, but it’s slipping through our hands
Each day is a new fight, for a piece of the pie
Fighting for the dream beneath the gray sky
[Outro]
Broken promises linger, the truth’s a bitter pill
Can we find a way back, find a hope that’s real?
Dear God, America’s broke, but maybe still can stand tall
In this land of dreams, can we heal and break the fall?
