Matt Maher, "Woke Up in America" from The Love In Between (Mike Patriot Whiskey)
Commentary:
"…And the voice said, "This land ain't dead,
'You still got better days up ahead.'
"I woke up in America for the love of God,
I woke up in America for something bigger than myself,
More than fireworks and fanfare,
More than a star-spangled banner,
You're still beautiful America!
"I've seen the horizon ablaze in Arizona,
Shoreline shoutin' over California,
Moonlight dancin' over the Dakotas,
It breaks your heart, it's so beautiful!
Lady Liberty, she leaves the light on,
From the west side all the way to Long Island,
Carolina Coast to the Rocky Mountains,
The sun is shining over me!
"I woke up in America for the love of God,
I woke up in America for something bigger than myself,
More than wealth or depression,
More than a red or blue nation,
Here in our hells and our heaven,
You're still beautiful America!
You're beautiful America!
You're beautiful America!"
