Vers 1:
As if i really didnt understand
That i was just another part of their plan
I went off looking for the promise
Believing in the Motherland
Vers 2:
And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed
And the safety of my own head
I went on speaking of the future
While other people fought and bled
Bridge 1:
The kid I was when I first left home
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
When the truth was known
Chorus 1:
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
It's in my blood and in my bones
-
By the dawn's early light
-
By all I know is right
-
We're going to reap what we have sown
- - - x 1
Vers 4
As if freedom was a question of might
As if loyalty was black and white
You hear people say it all the time-
"My country wrong or right"
Vers 5
I want to know what that's got to do
With what it takes to find out what's true
With everyone from the President on down
Trying to keep it from you
Bridge 2
The thing I wonder about the Dads and Moms
Who send their sons to the Vietnams
Will they really think their way of life
Has been protected as the next war comes?
Chorus 2
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
Her shining dream plays in my mind
-
By the rockets red glare
-
A generation's blank stare
-
We better wake her up this time
- - - x 1
Solo:
Bridge 3:
The kid I was when I first left home
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
But the freedom that he found wasn't quite as sweet
When the truth was known
Chorus 3:
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
I can't let go till she comes around
-
Until the land of the free
-
Is awake and can see
-
And until her conscience has been found
