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