lyrics

This is a little love song for the country that I live in
The United States, The United States of America
What a cozy little place, a wide open space
A hole in the face of the planet, the states of America
The Colorado Rockies, boulder garden heavens
Desert skies at sunset that stretch into forever, America
The rivers and lakes, the streams and the plains
Lying on the beach I'm entirely amazed, it's a miracle
Heaven came down to the earth

Still there are so many places where I feel alive
As long as I am breathing yes I know I will survive
And if I don't stop moving I'll be there when I arrive
Cause I cannot contain my love or keep myself in line...
...Because I am alive

Great plains, great lakes, great plains, great lakes
Great men I guess you could say that, but not about our president
Let us not confuse the man for the machine
For he is just a figure-head of this right-wing regime
Dancing to the strings the pull, the heads of corporations
As money's speaking louder than good actions or intentions
I wish it could be different but that's the way it is
Here in America

Still there are so many places where I feel alive
As long as I am breathing yes I know I will survive
And if I don't stop moving I'll be there when I arrive
Cause I cannot contain my love or keep myself in line...
...Because I am alive

This has just been a little ode to my country melody
The United States, The United States
The road to change is not paved and it's not lined with diamonds


Still there are so many places where I feel alive
As long as I am breathing yes I know I will survive
And if I don't stop moving I'll be there when I arrive
Cause I cannot contain my love or keep myself in line...
...Because I am alive
