See the faces on tv
Trying to relate to me
Sometimes i just have to close my eyes
I know i am not alone
Trying to find my way back home
Living in america

Brother's on the news again
Help me try and understand
Cover me, this feeling leaves me cold
Feel the rain is pouring down
New orleans will never drown
Living in america

We grow up together here
Share our hopes and darkest fears
Come together right now over me
New york was a battleground
Silence was the only sound
Living in america

Coward underneath the sheet
People marching on the street
Rock and roll allows a kid to dream
Feel the sunlight on your face
A moment of amazing grace
Living in america
