Dawn

America the beautiful
 Your streets are paved with blood
 And your rivers run with tears that flow
 To form a cleansing flood
 As they gun down our communities
 All we get are thoughts and prayers
 Politicians say what they want to say
 But Still act like they don't care
 If you find the eye of the storm
 Hold on hold on
 Don't you know it's always darkest before dawn
 So shine on shine on
 We shake our heads at the news reports
 And say
 This isn't who we are
 Watching families get torn apart
 ButI've seen this hate before
 And those who claim to love the holy one
 sGo marching into war
 They have fallen for that silver tongue
 Cut me down to build a wall
 If you find the eye of the storm
 Hold on hold on
 Don't you know it's always darkest before dawn
 So shine on shine on
 Shine on shine on
