HELLO AMERICA HOW ARE YOU TODAY
A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS COMING YOUR WAY
THE GOOD AND BAD YOU’VE SEEN IT ALL
THROUGH WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL
WELL SEASONED IN 200 YEARS
LOTS OF JOY TO MANY TEARS
YOU KNOW WE’VE MADE IT THROUGH THE ROUGH
WHEN THE GOING GETS A LITTLE TOUGH
ONLY BECAUSE WE STUCK TOGETHER
THROUGH THICK AND THIN AND BAD WEATHER
BUT NOW THE WORLD IS WATCHING US
POINTING A FINGER STARTING TO CUSS
SAY WHAT IS BIG BROTHER GOANNA DO
WILL WE FLINCH WHEN THEY SAY BOO
AMERICA I LOVE YOU
MOTHER BASEBALL APPLE PIE
AMERICA I’M WITH YOU
AMERICAN DREAM IS NOT A LIE
AMERICA MAY YOU NEVER DIE
IF NOTHING IS SACRED ANYMORE
NOTHING IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR
WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME MESS
IF NONE OF US CAN PASS THE TEST
WE HAVE GOT TO STICK TOGETHER
CLOUDS ARE FORMING TERRIBLE WETHER
HAVE WE ABANDONED THE LORD
LAID DOWN THE BIBLE FOR THE SWORD
WILL WE BE ABLE TO SHOW THE REST
THAT WE ARE STILL THE BEST
OR WILL WE FIGHT AMONG OURSELVES
OR SEEK OUT WHERE THE ENEMY DWELLS
WHO IS OUR FRIEND, WHO IS OUR FOE
DO ANY OF US REALLY KNOW
AMERICA I LOVE YOU
MOTHER BASEBALL APPLE PIE
AMERICA I’M WITH YOU
AMERICAN DREAM IS NOT A LIE
AMERICA MAY YOU NEVER DIE
ALL WE’VE BEEN WORKING FOR
COULD BE LOST IF WE GO TO WAR
IT WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME
COULD NEVER BRING IT BACK AGAIN
SOMETIMES YOU MUST DO
THINGS YOU DON’T WANT TO
IT IS HARD TO SAY WHAT IS BEST
OR WHICH ONE OF US MUST TAKE THE TEST
WE MUST STICK TOGETHER ON THIS ONE
BEFORE WE ARE ALL ON THE RUN
WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO BREAK OUR BACK
THEN IT’S TIME TO START FIGHTING BACK
WE MUST SAY A PRAYER FOR OUR SIDE
BEFORE SOMEONE TAKES US FOR A RIDE
AMERICA I LOVE YOU
MOTHER BASEBALL APPLE PIE
AMERICA I’M WITH YOU
AMERICAN DREAM IS NOT A LIE
AMERICA MAY YOU NEVER DIE
FROM THE CALIFORNIA SETTING SUN
UPTHROUGH NORTHERN OREGON
DOWN ALONG EL PASO WAY
THROUGH THE SOUTH UP TO SAGINAW BAY
THE FEELING IS ABOUT THE SAME
WE DON’T WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME
BUT WE HAD BETTER PICK OUR SIDE
OR BE SASHED OUT WITH THE TIDE
OUR PRESIDENT IS DOING HIS BEST
PRAY FOR HIM TO PASS THIS TEST
PRAY FOR YOURSELF TO DO THE SAME
CALL UPON THE LORD’S PRECIOUS NAME
MAY HE SHOW US MERCYAGAIN
TO GO OUT AND MAKE A NEW FRIEND
AMERICA I LOVE YOU
MOTHER BASEBALL APPLE PIE
AMERICA I’M WITH YOU
AMERICAN DREAM IS NOT A LIE
AMERICA MAY YOU NEVER DIE
AMERICA MEANS FREEDOM
AT LEST STILL TO SOME
WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE
OR EVEN BEEN NEAR
THE BOAT PEOPLE FROM TAIWAN
WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY FLOATED HERE ON
THE AMERICAN DREAM TO THEM
SEEM LIKE SOMETHING FROM HEAVEN
OR WHAT ABOUT OUR SPANISH FRIENDS
THAT WE SENT BACK TO MEXICO AGAIN
BECAUSE ALL THEY HAD WERE WET BACKS
AND NO MONEY IN THEIR PACKS
WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CAME HERE
AGAINST ALL ODDS, AGAINST ALL FEAR
AMERICA I LOVE YOU
MOTHER BASEBALL APPLE PIE
AMERICA I’M WITH YOU
AMERICAN DREAM IS NOT A LIE
AMERICA MAY YOU NEVER DIE
AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST
AMERICA, IN GOD WE MUST
AMERICA, IS WAITING ON YOU
TO SEE HER THROUGH
AMERICA, I LOVE YOU
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE OVER THE SEA
IN THE LAND WHERE MEN ARE NOT FREE
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY THINK OF US
DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY RAISE SUCH A FUSS
THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO UNDERSTAND
WHY WHEN WE LIVE IN THIS GREAT LAND
ARE WE SO EXTREMELY WASTEFUL
AND FOR LITTLE THINGS ARE NOT GRATEFUL
THEY THINK BECAUSE OF OUR STYLE
THEY HAVE TO WALK AN EXTRA MILE
JUST TO KEEP THE PACE
AND CHEAT TO WIN THE LONGEST RACE
AH, BUT WE MUST PLAY FAIR AND SIT BACK AND BE THE SQUARE
AMERICA I LOVE YOU
MOTHER BASEBALL APPLE PIE
AMERICA I’M WITH YOU
AMERICAN DREAM IS NOT A LIE
AMERICA MAY YOU NEVER DIE
NOW THERE IS SOMETHING WE ALL CAN DO
STOP, TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR AT YOU
TAKE A GOOD LOOK AND SEE WHAT YOU SEE
IS IT THE SAME THING I SEE IN ME
HAVE WE ALL STRIVED TO DO OUR BEST
TO HELP OURSELVES OUT OF THIS MESS
IT’S EASY TO SAY, “IT’S UP TO HIM, ”
AND LAY AROUND AND WALLOW IN OUR SIN
JUST TO PASS ON THE BUCK
HOPING FOR GOOD LUCK
AND HOPE THERE WON’T BE ANOTHER DAY
WHEN THE BILL WILL COME OUR WAY
AMERICA MUST PICK UP THE TAB
BEFORE WE ALL ARE UNDER A MARBLE SLAB
AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST
AMERICA, IN GOD WE MUST
AMERICA, IS WAITING ON YOU
TO SEE HER THROUGH
AMERICA, I LOVE YOU
YOU KNOW, WHEN I HEAR WALTER CRONKITE
MAKES ME WANT TO GO TO AND FIGHT
BUT WHEN I LISTEN TO BILLY GRAHAM
I HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER STAND
THE MAN UPSTAIRS IS WATCHING US
TO SEE WHO TAKES A FREE TICKET ON HIS BUS
WHO WILL CHOOSE TO STAY BEHIND
TO GO FIGHT IN THE FRONT LINE
REVELATIONS LAYS IT OUT REAL CLEAR
THE WORLD’S END IS VERY NEAR
BUT THROUGH FAITH SPELLED IN THE WORD
MAN’S WANTS BECOME ABSURD
AND LIKE A LITTLE CHILD AGAIN
WE CAN COME TO KNOW A NEW FRIEND
AMERICA I LOVE YOU
MOTHER BASEBALL APPLE PIE
AMERICA I’M WITH YOU
AMERICAN DREAM IS NOT A LIE
AMERICA MAY YOU NEVER DIE
NOW, I’M NOT TRYING TO PREACH TO YOU
BUT THERE’S SOMETHING I WANT YOU TO DO
READ CLOSE THE WORDS IN THIS SONG
YOU CAN FIND OUT WHERE WE ARE WRONG
I DON’T SAY I KNOW WHAT IS BEST
I JUST KNOW HOW TO PASS THE TEST
WE CAN’T MAKE IT ON OUR OWN
ISN’T THAT CLEAR IN YOUR OWN HOME
IT’S GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE STRONG
SOMEONE WE CAN LEAN ON
I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU, MY FRIEND
SO YOU CAN CALL ON HIM AGAIN
AMERICA, WE’D BETTER BEWARE
AMERICA, AMERICA, WE NEED THIS PRAYER
AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST
AMERICA, IN GOD WE MUST
AMERICA, IS WAITING ON YOU
TO SEE HER THROUGH
AMERICA, I LOVE YOU
AMERICA I LOVE YOU
MOTHER BASEBALL APPLE PIE
AMERICA I’M WITH YOU
AMERICAN DREAM IS NOT A LIE
AMERICA MAY YOU NEVER DIE
