America, Born Again

blooming, bursting, breaking into life
tearing down walls of assumption and opinion
tearing through places unknown and unseen
climbing mountains, crossing streams
trampling over tyrants and kings
bringing change, changing life
new ideas are here to stay
what will we find in this new day?
what will we make, who will we help?
going places new to the world
we charge onto the battlefield
with peace and strength and hope and guts
we force our way out of the dust
we always stay true to ourselves
you can’t break us, change us, put us down
you can’t stop us, we will prevail.
when day is done, our task completed
peace and kindness roaming free
our hearts will sing of wonderful things
and we’ll run for the eastern shores,
where America began,
where we first claimed land
and we’ll remember the then and now
and look around and how we’ve changed
and remember who we are
and where we come from
forever.
