America the Beautiful

So much sadness in the world, where is the love?

I see America crying, tears falling down its cheeks

The single parents struggling to support a family

The lonely wives of soldiers constantly worrying

The starving children searching for a way for survival

The minorities trying to avoid racism

The families losing everything in a time of crisis

The war veterans being rejected when they need help

The citizens fearing injury knowing the can't pay for care

The wanderers looking for an opportunity at acceptance

They wait for the sun to some up but the night is everlasting
