Who is America?
Who Is America?
Lyrics
[Verse 1] She’s the kid by the border Counting trucks in the dust
Grandma in Detroit Holding bills Praying rust turns to trust
He's the nurse on the night shift Eyes red Hands sore
They keep telling their stories But we keep asking for more
[Chorus] Who is America
Is it flags on a pickup Or feet on the ground
Is it choir robes Or a protest sound
We’re a question asked in a crowded room
Who is America
Maybe it’s me and it’s you
[Verse 2] She’s the girl in Atlanta First one through the door
College sweatshirt Campus map Mom crying at the floor
He's the vet in a bar seat Talking loud Talking slow
Says "I left as a boy Came back Didn’t know where to go"
[Chorus] Who is America
Is it hands in a huddle Or hands in the air
Sunday dinner Or an empty chair
We’re a promise written in fading blue
Who is America
Maybe it’s me and it’s you
[Bridge] We argue like family We love like that too (oh yeah)
Fighting over past lives Trying to fit in one view
But a name this big Needs a million faces
A thousand prayers In a thousand places
[Chorus] Who is America
Is it broke-down towns Or skylines new
Is it one long road Or a change of route
We’re a story scribbled Still bleeding through
Who is America
Maybe it’s me and it’s you
(Yeah, maybe it’s me and it’s you)
