Lights of America

This man walks down this road alone
There are no street lights leading the way
Walking blindly through the dark is what he does
Seeing the evil and restraints of a free nation

He’s walking through the valley of the shadow of death
He can see the crimes going on in the streets of darkness
A young lady getting raped, a young man getting shot
Is this what America’s freedom was meant to be

Dear Lord, send me out in the streets tonight please
Let me go to the darkest streets and risk my life humbly
Someone Lord has to go out to these corupted streets
And be the bright lights of America and restore life

She’s had to resort to seeling her body to survive
The divorce left her with nothing but the clothes on her back
All because of her life partner’s abuse towards her
While the judges said let’s provide liberty through mercy

Children sit in shelters starving each and every night
While we complain about the food we have on our tables
We proceed to be frauds of the American economy
Gaining riches by any means, while we don’t give anything back

Dear Lord, send me out in the streets tonight please
Let me go to the darkest streets and risk my life humbly
Someone Lord has to go out to these corupted streets
And be the bright lights of America and restore life

Buildings of the corupt stand tall
While the true strength lay defeated
Wisdom of old no longer exist here
You must keep up with the trends

Dear Lord, send me out in the streets tonight please
Let me go to the darkest streets and risk my life humbly
Someone Lord has to go out to these corupted streets
And be the bright lights of America and restore life

He sees one light flicker in the distance on a street corner
It finally stays on for a few seconds as he reaches it
He looks around to see nothing but feels safe
This lone light in the street has brought a peace for now
