[Verse]
There's dust on our flag where the stars used to shine
The roads where we ran after our dreams are now in decline
No point in chasing a dream that's crumbling away
It seems the new American dream is to run...
Not stay
[Chorus]
This is not the land of the brave I recall
Where freedom stood tall and justice called
Hatred's the storm that's broken the trust
The dream
Has left us in the dust
[Verse 2]
Echoes of our forefathers voices
Cry out in dismay in the night
So many promises broken and there's no
end in sight
The walls we've built can't hold back the pain
When love's the cost and hatred's the gain
[Chorus]
This is not the land of the brave I recall
Where freedom stood tall and justice called
Hatred's the storm that's broken the trust
The dream
Has left us in the dust
[Bridge]
Yet deep in our souls
A fire still burns
We hope for the day when the tide will turn
And We'll rise from the ashes
To Rebuild the dream
Of A nation united
As it should be
[Chorus]
This is not the land of the brave I recall
Where freedom stood tall and justice called
Hatred's the storm that's broken the trust
The dream
Has left us in the dust
