jackson browne - for america كلمات الأغنية

for america
jackson browne

as if i really didn’t understand
that i was just another part of their plan
i went off looking for the promise
believing in the motherland
and from the comfort of a dreamer’s bed
and the safety of my own head
i went on speaking of the future
while other people fought and bled
the kid i was when i first left home
was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
but the freedom that he found wasn’t quite as sweet
when the truth was known
i have prayed for america
i was made for america
it’s in my blood and in my bones
by the dawn’s early light
by all i know is right
we’re going to reap what we have sown

as if freedom was a question of might
as if loyalty was black and white
you hear people say it all the time-
“my country wrong or right”
i want to know what that’s got to do
with what it takes to find out what’s true
with everyone from the president on down
trying to keep it from you

the thing i wonder about the dads and moms
who send their sons to the vietnams
will they really think their way of life
has been protected as the next war comes?
i have prayed for america
i was made for america
her shining dream plays in my mind
by the rockets red glare
a generation’s blank stare
we better wake her up this time

the kid i was when i first left home
was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
but the freedom that he found wasn’t quite a sweet
when the truth was known
i have prayed for america
i was made for america
i can’t let go till she comes around
until the land of the free
is awake and can see
and until her conscience has been found
