He hung in love just to draw you near
So I say, your deliverance is coming
Don't stop believing, my girl America
But still most of her friends don't care as they glare
Don't stop believing, my girl America
When she's dreaming for her freedom
Through the hand that's been dealt though it's quiet as kept
My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night
My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night
My girl, out of this world
And I can see we've strayed so far
And his palms and sides were pierced with spears
Boys with hungry eyes have been beating her door
Where we started, where we started
She's part of a generation longing for reconciliation
The age behind her eyes show the pain that she's swirled
And I see each tear and every scar
And his palms and sides were pierced with spears
My girl, I know this love that you're chasing
As a crown of thorns was placed to erase
My girl, out of this world
And pains that come your way
I know she knows there's more
I can see that she's screaming
Ready to drown down the funnel as they frown down the tunnel
Seems to have grown so fast, way beyond her own class
Don't stop believing, my girl America
My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight
He hung in love just to draw you near
Each tear that's touched your face
You left it in the dirt on your worst hurt
Smoking Marijuana, longing for a father to call her "daughter"
Faith like a child from your first birth
When she's dreaming for her freedom
And the void that the boys can't fill
And this future that they're facing
In God we trust engraved on the treasures of her nation
It's not the circumstances that determine who you're gonna be
My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night
My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight
My girl America's crying when she's lying on her bed at night
A king born under that morning star
I can see that she's screaming
Can't you see this is where we started?
And as she crept into the dreams of the things of her past
I can see that she's screaming
The hands that have held you where you are
Then leave calling her a whore, but still she knows there's more
My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight
And this poison that they're tasting
When she's dreaming for her freedom
But how you deal with these problems
My girl America's dying while she's trying just to stop this fight
As they stumble and they tumble breaking down into rubble
Don't stop believing, my girl America
When she's dreaming for her freedom
My girl. she's at a crossroads, people praying for her
I can see that she's screaming
With the tipping of the bottle and the popping of the pill
Because there's a voice she can't ignore
It's for you that I pray with hope for a brighter day
Telling her that's what she's for, trying to rob her core
Can't you see this is where we started?
My girl America, stop can't you see?
A natural born leader even when her peers diss her
And though her age reads she's just a young girl
The weight was all felt last night when she slept
Though they're right there with her, her brothers and her sisters
'Cause it was founded in the foundations
Some are preying on her magazine ads, sex, drama
From the day of her creation
