Become America - The Call

When will America become America?

When will America become America?

When will the home we love

Mean freedom for everyone?

When will America become America?

When will the killing stop?

When the last child has dropped?

How long must other’s tears

Rain down on streets of tears?

When will the home we love

Mean justice for everyone?

When will America become America?

When will America become America?

When will America become America?

When will the home we love

Mean freedom for everyone?

When will America become America?

When will the struggling poor

Walk with heads held high once more?

Children playing on a haunted street

Where dogs and vultures eat

A politician weaves a spell

A promise spoken from the mouth of hell

When will America become America?

When will America become America?

When will America become America?

When will the home we love

Mean freedom for everyone?

When will America become America?

With the very lives they gave

Soldiers are young and brave

Shame for the world to see

A mystery to you and me

Angels will keep their watch

Heaven will count the cost

When will America become America?

When will America become America?

When will America become America?

When will the home we love

Mean freedom for everyone?

When will America become America?
