Lyrics
VERSE 1
Old man lonely, wishes he only had someone else to care.
Young wife abandoned, alone with the kids, won't someone answer her prayers.
Then there are leapers with mask and glove, do they know we're Christians by the way we love?
We aid in their passing with our hatred and fear, somehow the least of these are not welcomed here.
And oh beautiful for spacious skies, ain't it time we opened up our eyes.
While others are workin' far beyond the sea, God's calling us to go across our street.
With the Spirits comfort and Jesus' embrace, the Father's heart for the human race.
In the home of the brave, in the land of the free, the forgotten wasteland of American dreams.
CHORUS
And all across the U.S.A. the call goes out, "can we do it His way?"
Put words to our witness and feet to our faith,
Shower with mercy and cover with grace.
All across the U.S.A.
BRIDGE
But we worship our work, we work at our play,
We play at our worship tell me what does that say?
And after all He's done for us it seems kinda odd,
We've become one nation out from under God.
Repeat Chorus
