The Heart of America
It’s time to come out
to see the world and how ugly it is
bruises and scars exposed for us to see
by the time the sky above darkens to the deepest gray
till the ray of hope shines down on us
something unknown will be discovered
As we look at this mess
and the dents in our hearts
the heart of America
will break and crumble
until there’s nothing to hold
heart of America
it’s time to come all
to touch the marks we’ve made
to smell the chaos that haunts streets
by the time we lay
to the time we wake
something undiscovered will be known
it’s time everyone
to gather around
to see the evil
to hear the evil
to watch evil grow amongst us
to overlook this place
this hell
that we call home
