America

As we turn the pages of our history, since America began

Many women, boys and girls of all nationalities and walks of life

Have been committed to the freedom of America

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America

And to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God

Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"

America, what are we waiting for?

America...

(America, America)

...what are we created for?

I remember so well:

You said "God shed his grace on thee

And in this land all men shall be free"

When I was a boy - "one nation under God", you taught me

"Liberty and justice, it's for all"

But the writing's on the wall

Justice for some, but not for all

I wanna know, I wanna know

America

We've always done our part (well...) to keep America free

What are we waiting for?

We gave our lives in every war: from the air, on land, and sea

America...

I thought freedom for America meant freedom for me

...what are we created for?

America...

I wanna know

...what are we waiting for?

Every way you turn

People hurt, people say

All across the land

You're gonna know

Hungry and cold people there

But where's all the compensation, we...

We're tied up in all the lies and games

With ourselves [?]

Without twilight it don't mean a thing

And that's a sad damn shame

People got to pay

People got to pay for change

America

What are we waiting for?

"[?] ...47 years ago, our fathers fought for this continent

And new nation could seek in liberty and dedicate it to proposition

That all men are created equal"

America

What are we waiting for?

I wanna know, I wanna know

America

Mhm, yeah yeah

What are we created for?

I wanna know... oooowww

America

Human rights? Huh, for every woman, man, boy, girl

Black or white

America...

America, America

...what are we created for?

I wanna know... aaahh-wwhoo!

Somebody, please!

(America) I wanna know, I wanna know

What are we waiting for?

America...
