I Am

Spreading across the plains
before there were others, others to blame
Those who care and those who don’t but maybe should
We’re polarized, so self-serving
Revolving doors they keep turning, turning
Why are we just looking in
We counted once, here we are again
What is, what is
I am, I am American
The republic to Republicans, our democracy to the Democrats
Used to think we’re better than that
A house divided can not stand
Used to think we gave a damn
Campaign checks for the undeserving
Out on the streets who are you serving
What is, what is
I am, I am ready to stand
Where is, where is this land of love
I am American
What is, what is
I am, I am ready to stand
Where is, where is this land of love
We elect you to lead
I am American
