Hymn (for America) Lyrics - Children - Mission Uk

I've felt the heat in the city of angels 

Dust up on high and the worse for wear 

I've seen the lights going down on sunset 

Madmen running loose, there's murder in the air 

So this is America 

Love colder than death, working the streets 

Love doesn't come cheap, so I learn how to steal 

Religion for sale, buy my way into heaven 

Sell my soul for a trick, it's not worth a great deal 

So this is America 

I remember her smile and her virgin heart 

I remember her tears tearing me apart 

I remember my hands, helpless and tied 

As they led her away I remember I cried 

I've put my life in the hands of a scream 

Small talked and less with legends to be 

But I carried a torch for the child forbidden 

When the heat closed in, they crucified me 

So this is America 

Dreams don't come easy without any sleep 

Laid wide eyed and weary on this damned bed of nails 

I hit the freeway and step on the speed 

Head for the desert when madness prevails 

So this is America 

God bless you, America, God bless you, America 

God bless you, America, God bless you 

America
