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